Let P(x1, y1) be a point on the ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1 with foci F1 and F2 and let α and β be the angles between the lines PF1, PF2 and the ellipse as shown in the figure. Prove that α = β. This explains how whispering galleries and lithotripsy work. Sound coming from one focus is reflected and passes through the other focus. [Hint: Use the formula in Problem 17 on page 201 to show that tan α = tan β.]
