Question: Show that any ray of light emanating from the focus \(F=\left(0,0, \frac{1}{4}\right)\) of the parabolic mirror \(z=x^{2}+y^{2}\) is reflected in a direction parallel to the \(z\) -axis. (Hint: part of the law of reflection is that the normal to the mirror at the point of reflection lies on the same plane as the incoming and the reflected rays.)
