question on mathematical model of reflection

Hello :

Have a question regarding the mathematical model of reflective curve where could i find information on it ? (pdf , webpages , ebooks ,...etc )

Other than Wikipedia

It would be helpful to know your question before trying to source the answer.

What is a "reflective curve"?
What is the application?
Are you talking about curved mirrors, as used in telescopes or microwave dishes?

Is one referring to a 'reflectance curve', or reflectance of the surface of a material, as in its effectiveness in reflecting radiant energy?

If so, https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/spectral-reflectance

or something like - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0034425782900578

or try - Journal of the Optical Society of America - e.g., https://opg.optica.org/josa/abstract.cfm?uri=josa-35-9-597

or perhaps - https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.162368999

no , i was talking about reflective curve a shape that reflect optical waves into some point reluctance was not part of my question , it is related to math and mathematical modeling i am reviewing math books now and found an exercise around this topic

The mathematical model of the reflective surface used in many satellite dishes is the parabola and paraboloid.
