Question

Explain how a periscope work (with help of a diagram)

Answer 1

The mirrors are fitted into each end of the tube at an angle of exactly 45 degrees (45°) so that they face each other. In theperiscope, light hits the top mirror at 45° and reflects away at the same angle. The light then bounces down to the bottom mirror.

Answer 2

Answer:

A periscope works on the principle of reflection of light from one plane mirror placed at an angle(450) parallel to other plane mirror. Diagram shows the position of mirrors and light rays. In the figure a and b are the positions of mirror at an angle of 450.
