a) The distance of the image from the mirror is 15 cm
b) The size of the image is -2 cm (inverted)
Explanation:
a)
We can solve this first part of the problem by applying the mirror equation:
where
f is the focal length
p is the distance of the object from the mirror
q is the distance of the image from the mirror
For a mirror, the focal length is half the radius of curvature, R:
For this mirror, R = 20 cm, so its focal length is
(positive for a concave mirror)
Here we also know:
p = 30 cm is the distance of the object from the mirror
So, by applying the equation, we can find q:
b)
We can solve this part by using the magnification equation:
where
y' is the size of the image
y is the size of the object
q is the distance of the image from the mirror
p is the distance of the object from the mirror
Here we have:
q = 15 cm
p = 30 cm
y = 4 cm
Solving for y', we find the size of the image:
and the negative sign means that the image is inverted.

Light behaves like a wave, and the different colors we perceive are the result of light hitting our eyes at different <em>wavelengths</em>. The air molecules in our atmosphere scatter this visible light, with a "preference" towards light of shorter wavelengths -- blue and violet light. Light of longer wavelengths (green, yellow, orange, red), doesn't pass through to us as visibly until later in the day, when the sun's light has more atmosphere to pass through before it reaches our eyes. The blue light becomes so scattered by the air molecules in its way at this point that we're finally able to see those yellows and reds coming through on our end.
