The property of the parabolic shape to reflect all sound symmetrically results in multiple REFLECTIONs known as 'slap echoes' when larger structures have this shape. Sound Example: Multiple ECHOes ...

Also called a "dish" or "mirror," parabolic antennas are used for satellite signals and planetary telescopes. The reflective mirror design can also emit energy such as in a flashlight or ...

Unlike standard parabolic mirrors, these mirrors direct and focus incident collimated light at a specific angle, allowing unrestricted access to the focal point. Ellipsoidal reflectors have two ...

A parabolic antenna is a simple enough device, a curved reflector designed to focus all the radiation from the direction it’s pointed into a waveguide or antenna at its feedpoint. They’re easy ...
