A concave mirror is curved inward in the middle, more like a cave. Because the mirror is curved inward, the angle of the light surface can be focused similar to that of the camera. They can form real images that are projected out in front of the mirror at the place where light focuses. When the object is located at the center of the curvature the image formed will also be at the curvature. The image will be inverted and the magnification value is equal to 1 which will become a real image because the ray of light converges at the location of the formed image.
