Parabolic Reflector

This is a demonstration of the physical properties of a parabola with the focus and directrix. Waves entering a parabolic reflector parallel to its y-axis will be reflected to a single point. This point is the focus from the focus-directrix definition of a parabola. This property is used in telescopes, listening devices, lasers, medical equipment, solar plants, and much more.
