- PARABOLA.BAS is a program which models an off axis
- illuminated parabola's refelcted rays and calculates their points
- of intersection for certain evenly spaced regions on the sagital
- section of a paraboloid with parabolic parameter, P. P=100 models
- an f5 system, P=20 an f1 system, etc. The quality of the image
- can be roughly assessed by the size of the box that will hold all
- of the image points.
-
-
- SPHERIC.BAS does the same for a spherical
- reflector. A radius of 200 models an f5 system, a radius of 40 an
- f1 system.
-
-
- HYPERBOL.BAS models a Hyperbolic system, where ((A^2 +
- B^2)^0.5)-A = 100 models an f5 system and = 20 models a f1
- system. For f5 try 5000 and 1005 from C-A =100 and A^2 +B^2 =
- C^2. For f1, try A=5000 and B=447.66.
