Here are some real life applications and occurrences of conic sections:
- the paths of the planets around the sun are ellipses with the sun at one focus
- parabolic mirrors are used to converge light beams at the focus of the parabola
- parabolic microphones perform a similar function with sound waves
- solar ovens use parabolic mirrors to converge light beams to use for heating
- the parabola is used in the design of car headlights and in spotlights because it aids in concentrating the light beam
- the trajectory of objects thrown or shot near the earth's surface follow a parabolic path
- I believe the path some astronomical objects take around the sun are hyperbolic (they do not revolve around the sun over and over, they approach, get close then leave in a hyperbolic path)
- Hyperbolas are used in a navigation system known as LORAN (long range navigation)
- Hyperbolic as well as parabolic mirrors and lenses are used in systems of telescopes
