Answer 1

Answer:

1. they were arranged parallel to each other with respect to each other

and reflect ing surface are faced to each other

2.they are at 45 degree from sides of the tube

Answer 2

THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE PLANE MIRRORS IN THE PERISCOPE:

_____________________________________

A) The plane mirrors in a periscope is parallel with each other which helps to reflect the light rays from the upper end of the periscope to the lower end of the periscope.

B) The plane mirrors in a Periscope incline at 45° angle with the surface of the periscope.

This 45° inclination helps the light rays easily travel through the inner gap of the periscope without any problems of reflection in wrong paths.
