(a) we can solve the problem by using the mirror equation:
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i}
where 
f is the focal length of the mirror
d_o is the distance of the object from the mirror
d_i is the distance of the image from the mirror.

For the sign convention, f is taken as negative for a convex mirror and d_i is taken as negative if the image is located behind the mirror, as in this problem. So we have 
f=-15.8 cm
d_i=-12.2 cm
and re-arranging the mirror equation we can find the distance of the object from the mirror:
\frac{1}{d_o}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{d_i}= \frac{1}{-15.8 cm} - \frac{1}{-12.2 cm}
from which we find
d_o=53.5 cm

(b) The magnitude is defined as the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the object, which is also equal to the negative of the ratio between the distance of the image and the distance of the object from the mirror:
M= \frac{h_i}{h_o} =- \frac{d_i}{d_o}
Using what we found at point (a), the magnification in this problem is
M=- \frac{-12.2 cm}{53.5 cm}=0.23
where the positive sign means the image is upright.

worty [1.4K]
Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

Answer: B. helium
