  2. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    As can be seen, the area of the circle defined by the intersection with the sphere of a horizontal plane located at any height equals the area of the intersection of that plane with the part of the cylinder that is "outside" of the cone; thus, applying Cavalieri's principle, it could be said that the volume of the half sphere equals the volume ...

  3. Parabolic reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_reflector

    All units used for the radius, focal point and depth must be the same. If two of these three quantities are known, this equation can be used to calculate the third. A more complex calculation is needed to find the diameter of the dish measured along its surface. This is sometimes called the "linear diameter", and equals the diameter of a flat ...

  4. Paraboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    Paraboloid of revolution. In geometry, a paraboloid is a quadric surface that has exactly one axis of symmetry and no center of symmetry. The term "paraboloid" is derived from parabola, which refers to a conic section that has a similar property of symmetry. Every plane section of a paraboloid made by a plane parallel to the axis of symmetry is ...

  5. Parabolic coordinates - Wikipedia

    The red paraboloid corresponds to τ=2, the blue paraboloid corresponds to σ=1, and the yellow half-plane corresponds to φ=-60°. The three surfaces intersect at the point P (shown as a black sphere) with Cartesian coordinates roughly (1.0, -1.732, 1.5).

  6. Parabolic antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_antenna

    In 1931, a 1.7 GHz microwave relay telephone link across the English Channel was demonstrated using 3.0-meter (10 ft) diameter dishes. [17] The first large parabolic antenna, a 9 m dish, was built in 1937 by pioneering radio astronomer Grote Reber in his backyard, [ 2 ] and the sky survey he did with it was one of the events that founded the ...

  9. Conoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conoid

    Kepler's rule gives for a right circular conoid with radius and height the exact volume: =. The implicit representation is fulfilled by the points of the line ( x , 0 , z 0 ) {\displaystyle (x,0,z_{0})} , too.
