A ray of light emanating from one focus of a hyperbola will be reflected back along the line from the opposite focus.
Light reflection properties of hyperbolas are used to advantage in the design of high-quality telescopes
A line tangent to a hyperbola at a point P makes equal angles with the lines through P and the foci
