Parallel rays, such as those from a very distance source, are focussed by a parabolic antenna so that they all meet at the focus of the parabola. This results in a stronger signal.
No. If you tilt a parabola, you will still have a parabolic curve but it will no longer be a parabola.
Parabolic means that which is expressed by a parable. This word can also be used to describe something that resembles or is part of a parabola or paraboloid. Parabolic has the same meaning as parabolical.
A parabola is a curved shape that is plotted on the Cartesian plane.
Yes
The parabola shape is magnified. If you keep the same scale for the graph, the parabola will look wider, more flattened out.
It means in the shape of a parabola.
No. If you tilt a parabola, you will still have a parabolic curve but it will no longer be a parabola.
A parabolic shape is used for all reflecting collectors ... visible light telescope, radio telescope, satellite receiver, etc. A parabolic reflector directs all parallel incoming rays toward one point, called the 'focus' of the parabola.
A parabolic mirror is shaped such that parallel incident light is reflected to a point called the focus. You will have to establish the size required, and the shape. There is an entry in Wikipedia on Parabola, giving the algebra.
A projectile doesn't follow a circular path. It follows a parabolic path. No part of a circle has the same shape as any part of a parabola. They're different curves.
The shape acts like a parabolic antenna, focusing sound into the ear from a larger surface area. Simples.
A parabolic reflector antenna is made of fiberglass or metal (usually aluminum).
A curve. It would be called a parabolic curve.

parabolic
The reflector horn type antenna has greater "side lobe" rejection, directionality and sensitivity (efficiency) than a dish type.
It would be a waste of precious metal if there was.
