Le miroir parabolique : la surface est un paraboloïde de révolution autour de l'axe principal. Si la source lumineuse est sensiblement un point au foyer du paraboloïde, le faisceau réfléchi est un faisceau cylindrique. Les réflecteurs de phares de marine ou d'automobiles sont souvent des miroirs paraboliques.

En géométrie, il existe trois types de paraboloïdes : hyperbolique, elliptique et celui de révolution, qui est obtenu par la rotation d'une parabole autour de son axe. Dans le domaine de l'optique, le miroir parabolique a la forme d'un paraboloïde de révolution. S'il s'agit de décrire la forme d'un miroir, l'emploi du terme paraboloïde sous-entend paraboloïde de révolution, soit de forme concave. (sphérique) 3, record 2, French, - parabolo%C3%AFde

Specular reflection is described by the law of reflection, according to which incident and reflected waves lie in the plane of incidence, defined by the normal to the interface and the direction of the incident wave, and make the same angle of incidence with this normal. Specular reflection is distinguished from refraction in that the direction of propagation of the reflected wave has a component opposite the direction of the incident wave.

Les télescopes à miroir liquide : Le procédé repose sur un principe simple.

Les avantages des télescopes à miroir liquide (TML) sont bien connus : facilité de réalisation, très faible coût, même pour un diamètre considérable, et excellentes qualités optiques. Leur inconvénient majeur est, bien sûr, qu'ils ne peuvent «pointer» que la verticale où ils sont installés. [...] Les détecteurs CCD en mode «drift-scan» permettent de «suivre» le déplacement apparent des sources et d'intégrer leur lumière pendant un temps de pose significatif. Ces poses, cumulées sur un certain nombre de nuits, permettent l'observation de «bandes» de ciel avec une profondeur en magnitude apparente tout à fait comparable à celle des observations pointées en imagerie sur un télescope moderne. 4, record 22, French, - t%C3%A9lescope%20%C3%A0%20miroir%20liquide

Ce [...] dispositif comporte notamment une lentille en plastique dont la face arrière (non exposée directement au Soleil) est recouverte d'une couche réfléchissante. Le rayonnement incident est ainsi réfracté sur la face avant de la lentille (dirigée vers le Soleil), puis réfléchi sur sa face arrière, avant de se reporter à nouveau sur la face avant; ce va-et-vient correspond au mécanisme dit de réflexion totale interne, qui résulte de la différence entre les densités optiques des milieux traversés. 4, record 24, French, - surface%20r%C3%A9fl%C3%A9chissante

Sun glint occurs when the ocean acts like a mirror, directly reflecting the sunlight to the imager of the satellite. Therefore, sun glint, like an image in a mirror, provides two kinds of information. It can help to locate the position of the sun, and its varying brightness and clarity provide information about the reflecting surface. In this way, sun glint is used to study ocean surface activity. 2, record 25, English, - sun%20glint
