Is there a difference between a parabolic reflector and a parabolic dish?

A parabolic reflector typically refers to a curved surface that reflects or focuses light, sound, or radio waves to a specific point. A parabolic dish specifically refers to a type of parabolic reflector commonly used to collect or reflect electromagnetic waves, such as in satellite dishes. While they are both parabolic in shape, a parabolic dish is a specialized form of a parabolic reflector designed for a specific purpose.


What does NOT exhibit parabolic motion?

Objects moving in a straight line or in circular motion do not exhibit parabolic motion. Parabolic motion is characterized by an object following a symmetrical path under the influence of gravity.


Can magnetic field be parabolic?

No, magnetic fields are typically represented by field lines that form closed loops or straight lines. They do not exhibit a parabolic shape.


Projectile following a parabolic path on a circle?

A projectile following a parabolic path on a circle can be understood as the motion of an object launched at an angle along the circumference of the circle. As the object moves, gravity causes it to follow a parabolic trajectory while the curvature of the circle influences its path. The resulting motion combines the circular motion of the circle with the parabolic motion of the projectile.


What type of mirror is used in a spotlight?
