Elliptical Concave Mirror

Level pending

Find the focal length of a concave mirror made from a small section cut out from near the vertex of an ellipsoidal reflecting surface symmetrically about its major axis.

Details:

  • Ellipsoid is made by rotating the ellipse x 2 16 + y 2 8 = 1 \frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{8} =1 about its major axis.
  • Rays incident on this mirror can be considered paraxial to the major axis
