[edit] Stub?

This article seems more like a stub to me, but the links were extremely useful. Maybye add a description of how this works (the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection)


[edit] Practical Uses

Maybe more practical uses and images should be added. Such as how Archimedes used mirrors in a parabolic path to catch invading Roman ships on fire, solar ovens, etc.

I was looking for more information on how parabolic reflectors create a virtual image as seen in the wok pan illusion. Any explanation or diagrams of this?
