What happens when an object is placed outside the focal length of a concave mirror?

It creates a real, inverted image (outsize). If inside the focal length, the image is virtual, upright, and magnified .

What is the mirror equation, and how is magnification (m) defined?

Mirror equation: 1/f = 1/do + 1/di. Magnification: m = hi/ho = –di/do (negative = inverted, positive = upright) .
