What generalization can you make regarding the nature of the images formed by a concave mirror?
The incoming light will intersect at a focal point determined by parabolic curve of the mirror.
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.
A parabolic sound collecting dish science project?
this is a very good science project
Why fringes formed due to wedge shaped thin films are straight and not parabolic?
because the thickness of air film is parallel to the edge
What is a flat sheet of glass that has a smooth silver colored coating on one side?

What kind of mirror focus light rays to a point?

How is spherical aberration eliminated in a reflecting telescope?
A reflecting telescope should have a parabolic mirror in which case there is no spherical aberration. The process of turning a spherical mirror surface into a parabolic one is called 'figuring'.
How do you build a parabolic mirror?
A parabolic mirror is shaped such that parallel incident light is reflected to a point called the focus. You will have to establish the size required, and the shape. There is an entry in Wikipedia on Parabola, giving the algebra.
What type of mirror is found around the bulb of flashlight?
Typically a concave parabolic mirror with a metallic reflector.
What kind of telescope uses a single large parabolic mirror to gather and focus starlight?
A single-mirror reflector.
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.
What shape is the mirror used to reflect TV waves from a satellite?
Probably parabolic (not 100% on that thou)
