i need
describe the reflective properties of these conic sections:
parabola
ellipse
hyperbola

Answer

when you place a source of signal at a focal point of an ellipse, the signal will be reflected to the other focal point position

When you place a source of rays as a signal at the focal point of a hyperbola, the ray will be reflected directly away from the other focal point

When you place a source of rays as a signal at one of the parabola focus, the ray will be reflected in lines that are parallel to the axis of the parabola.

Explanation:

In each case, rays through one focus are reflected along a line through the other focus.

The second focus of a parabola is at infinity, so rays through the focus are reflected along parallel paths.
