Answer to Question 1

Answer: If there is a very steep decrease in temperature immediately near the surface along with a lesser temperature gradient just above, an inferior mirage can occur. Diffuse, visible radiation off the top of the tree goes in many directions. Some of the light passes directly to the viewer with minimal refraction. Some of the light approaches the surface, where intense refraction gives a second, false image of the tree. This creates an inverted image beneath the normal image.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
