it reflects the sun rays with a mirror so that they are concentrated on a point or a line
The incoming light will intersect at a focal point determined by parabolic curve of the mirror.
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.
this is a very good science project
Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwards plane-a flat mirror
it will reflect off it
Yes. Specifically, it's an f/8 parabolic mirror.
A parabolic mirror would do the job.
A parabolic mirror is typically used in a spotlight. This type of mirror is designed to reflect light rays in a parallel manner, concentrating the light and directing it outward in a beam.
mirror with a concave parabolic figure
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'.
A parabolic mirror is a type of curved mirror with a specific parabolic shape that reflects light parallel to its axis, leading to focused light rays. A concave mirror, on the other hand, is any mirror that curves inward, causing light rays to converge to a focal point. All parabolic mirrors are concave, but not all concave mirrors are parabolic.
A single-mirror reflector.
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.
A parabolic mirror is commonly used in searchlights because it can reflect light in a concentrated beam over long distances. Its curved shape helps to focus the light emitted by the searchlight into a powerful and directed beam.
A parabolic mirror with a concave shape focuses incoming light rays to a single point called the focal point. This results in a concentrated and intensified reflection of light, making the mirror useful for applications such as telescopes and satellite dishes.
A parabolic mirror prevents spherical aberration by focusing incoming light rays to a single point, rather than spreading them out. This is achieved because the shape of the mirror is designed to reflect light in a way that corrects for the distortion caused by a spherical shape.
A parabolic mirror, usually. A spherical mirror is also sometimes used, but that requires additional corrections in other parts of the telescope.
