Conical Bases for Mirrors

Introduction

This experimental setup illustrates the applications of conics in optics. These give focal properties to optical systems.

General objective

Construct support bases for conic mirrors (spherical, parabolic, elliptical, and hyperbolic)

Specific objectives
  1. Provide the plans for constructing the support bases for conic mirrors.

  2. Explain the optical focal properties of these mirrors through videos.
