Application +4 | -1

A ray of light moving parallel to the

x

-axis gets reflected from a parabolic mirror whose equation is

y^2=4(x-1)

. After reflection the ray passes through

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

(2,0)

Option A ((2,0)) is correct because a ray parallel to the x-axis, after reflection from a parabola, passes through its focus, which is (2,0) in this case.
