It is a property of a parabolic mirror that rays from from one of the foci of the parabola, travelling in any direction within the parabola will get reflected along the major axis. This means that these rays will travel as parallel rays. This will give a concentrated light source rather than one that is spread out across a broad area.

∙ 7y agoThe parabolic mirror will redirect light that shines in most directions, so that it goes in a single direction, "forward".

Parabolic
What type of mirror is used in a spotlight?
parabolic reflectors
Is parabolic concave mirror is used in car head light?
Yes, the bulb will be kept at the focus of the parabola so that the light after refelction would go parallel and so it could cover a wide region.

What mirror causes light rays to converge?
concave mirror and convex lens can be used to focus light rays. they are also called converging mirror and lens respectively. They focus the light at a distance of its focal length.

What shape is the mirror used to reflect TV waves from a satellite?
Probably parabolic (not 100% on that thou)
What type of mirror is at the end of a reflecting telescope?
A parabolic mirror, usually. A spherical mirror is also sometimes used, but that requires additional corrections in other parts of the telescope.
Why concave mirror is used in search lights?
The concave shape focuses the light into a narrow beam. If the mirror was convex, the light would be spread out - useless for searching into any distance.
Write the equation of a parabolic cross section mirror used to concentrate sunlight on a straight pipe surrounding the focus of the mirror which is 9 inches from the vertex of the mirror?
Hey look, a bunny!
Why are concave mirrors used in the head light of vehicles?
Concave mirrors are used because they will reflect a light source inside the curve in one general direction. To be more specific, the mirrors are close to parabolic. Parabolas have the property that light beams generated at the focal point of the parabola are all reflected parallel out of the mirror.
Why is a satellite used to reflect light?
Because it is like a mirror and it can be used to reflect light
