APPLICATION OF ATYPICAL CURVES FOR THE FORMATION SURFACES OF REFLECTORS

Elena Pastuchová - Jana Galanová - Alfonz Smola

   This article deals with two cycloidal curves: Ceva's cycloid and trochoid. Formulas that allow to apply these curves to construction of rotary symmetric reflectors are derived.

Keywords: incident light ray, reflected light ray, Ceva's cycloid, trochoid
