Observe the diagram :
\The focal zone is located at the focus of the parabolic mirror.
\The depth of the parabolic mirror is .
Width of the parabola is .
Since Width of the parabola is ,
width of the reflector will exist on above
-axis
and width of the reflector will exist on below
-axis.
The point lie on the parabolic mirror are and
.
The vertex of a parabola in standard form is .
Since the vertex is located at origin, vertex is .
The equation of parabola is .
Substitute and
in above equation.
The focus of a parabola in standard form is .
Substitute and
in
.
The focus of a parabola is .
Thus, the distance between parabola to focal zone is .
The distance between parabola to focal zone is .
