Chapter 36, Problem 36.16P
Why is the following situation impossible? At a blind corner in an outdoor shopping mall, a convex mirror is mounted so pedestrians can see around the corner before arriving there and bumping into someone traveling in the perpendicular direction. The installers of the mirror failed to take into account the position of the Sun, and the mirror focuses the Sun’s rays on a nearby bush and sets it on fire.

Case Study 1b - Cooper Carol has asked you to support the babies and toddler’s room educators this week. She has requested that you complete an observation on Cooper, who is a 10-month-old toddler. Carol wants to see how well you conduct an observation and is interested in how you manage to communicate in any observations made, using a strengths-based, non-judgemental, anti-biased approach, as this is a fundamental part of creating a supportive and respectful culture at Little Catalysts ELC.
