Conoid

Conoid is a term used in various branches of mathematics and physics to describe a shape that is similar to a cone. In geometry, a conoid is a solid formed by rotating a parabola around its axis. In physics, a conoid is a type of wavefront formed by light rays that are not parallel to each other.

Geometry[edit | edit source]

In geometry, a conoid is a solid formed by rotating a parabola around its axis. This shape is also known as a paraboloid. The term "conoid" is derived from the Greek word "konoeides", which means "cone-shaped". A conoid has a single apex, which is the point where the axis of rotation intersects the parabola.

Physics[edit | edit source]

In physics, a conoid is a type of wavefront formed by light rays that are not parallel to each other. This can occur when light is refracted or diffracted. The term "conoid" is used to describe the shape of the wavefront, which is similar to a cone.
