1. 2(v)3 marks· CSEC Physics · 1992 · Paper 2The radio signal is received from the satellite by an aerial with a concave parabolic reflector. With the aid of a diagram, explain why a parabolic reflector is used.
2. 3(b)3 marks· CSEC Physics · 1998 · Paper 2Figure 4 shows circular wavefronts spreading from source S and incident on a flat barrier. Draw TWO reflected wavefronts and mark with an 'X' the point from which they appear to originate.
