After the reflector shape experiment, the results were as following:
1) Surface Temperature (F) 2) Focus Temperature (F) Reflector A, which was neither wide nor narrow, had the most temperature change out of the three reflectors due to its ability to concentrate the light rays into the solar cell. If the reflector was too narrow, there wasn't much area for the light rays that were reflected to converge. When the reflector was too wide, most of the light rays just diverged and weren't able to be absorbed in to the solar cell with greater intensity.
