Statement

13.1.12. [Insert the problem statement]

For problem $13.1.12$

Solution

The ring is cut from the base of a hollow cone of height h and semi-angle. Its radius is approximately
When placed with the wide part facing the beam, light hits the inner conical surface parallel to the axis.

Each ray arrives with an angle of incidence with respect to the normal to the surface. Reflection deflects the ray by an angletowards the axis. The distance f from the point of incidence to the focus on the axis satisfies
Therefore,

Since the angle at the vertex is small, , and the focus is located at a distance

from the plane of the ring.
