MATH HL focal point project
The reason satellite antennas have
parabolic shape is because of the
characteristic property of parabola.
all beams of wave traveling parallel
to the axis of the parabola after
reflecting of he surface of the
antenna will go to the same
location within the antenna. This
point called the focal point of the
parabola. That’s where hey place
the receiver in front of the
antenna. Here we will
determine the position of the
focal point given the
equation
of the parabola.
