The explanation given in Section 33.6 for the color of the setting sun should apply equally well to the risingsun, since sunlight travels the same distance through the atmosphere to reach your eyes at either sunrise or sunset. Typically, however, sunsets are redder than sunrises. Why? (Hint:Particles of all kinds in the atmosphere contribute to scattering.)
You take a lens and mask it so that light can pass through only the bottom half of the lens. How does the image formed by the masked lens compare to the image formed before masking?
For what range of object positions does a concave spherical mirror form a real image? What about a convex spherical mirror?
