This example demonstrates the light reflection on a parabola. Key mathematical concepts include parabolas and reflection. Using GeoGebra commands such as Ray, Line, OrthogonalLine, and Mirror, the construction of a parabola and its reflected light rays is illustrated. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Ray((n, f(n)), (n, 1000)) → g
  2. Line(A, B) → h
  3. OrthogonalLine(C, h) → i
  4. Mirror(D, i) → D'
  5. Ray((n, f(n)), D') → j
