Does a periscope work on reflection of light?
Yes.
Does the periscope use reflection or refraction?
Yes! Actually it is determined by how the periscope was made. The cheap ones often sold around parades and large crowds are made of cardboard and mirrors, using reflection to provide a view. More sophisticated devices in submarines and tanks will use prisms to bend the light, using refraction to change the direction of the light and provide magnification.
What is the principle of a periscope?
The answer is that one mirror inside the periscope is meant to reflect the light onto the other mirror so that it goes back into your eyes. It was popularly used in World War I to see over the trenches without being a heavy target to artillery. It is also still used in submarines to see above water level whilst staying submerged.For a diagram that will (should) help, copy and paste the link below:http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2000-05/959444445.Eg.1.jpg
What are 5 practical uses of total internal reflection?
Binoculars, Rear reflectors and periscope cant think of 5 sorry:(
Properties of images formed by a periscope?
A periscope can be raised and lowered depending on the depth of a submarine. Periscopes are like a small telescope that can be rotated to take in a 360 degree view of the submarine's surroundings. Periscopes have to be lowered before the submarine is submerged. Periscopes in nuclear submarines are now able to take pictures of surroundings.
What principle of light does the periscope use to work?
The Reflection.
What type of reflection is made by periscope?
it is prism
Does a periscope work on reflection of light?
Yes.
What is an example of toal internal reflection?
periscope is an example of total internal reflection.
What is the scientific theory behind the use of the periscope?
The operation of the periscope requires nothing more than the simple geometry of reflection from a plane mirror ... a theory that is well supported by observation and experiment. Its use requires no scientific theory.
Principle of light of a periscope use to work?
A periscope works on the principle of total internal reflection of light. Made with the help of two right angle prisms, the principle can be observed at the prisms' back face.
Does the periscope use reflection or refraction?
Yes! Actually it is determined by how the periscope was made. The cheap ones often sold around parades and large crowds are made of cardboard and mirrors, using reflection to provide a view.

How mirrors are placed in a periscope?
There are no mirrors in a periscope - they use prisms. But you could use two at 45 degrees to the object and observer, parallel to one another
