Light always travels in straight lines. It comes into the periscope, gets reflected once through 90 degrees by a mirror placed at an angle, then is reflected back through 90 degrees again by a second mirror. Sometimes lenses are also used to magnify the image.

When does total internal refraction happen?
Total internal refraction happens when a light ray travel from a lighter medium to a denser medium. Ex. A light ray passing through a Prism.
How many different directions can a single ray of light travel in?
A ray of light can travel in any direction, so an infinite number.
An example of a wave that can travel through empty space?
radio heat light infrared green ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray gravity waves
How do light rays travel light ray?
Light Rays travel in straight paths as transverse waves. It needs no medium to travel along.

Does red light travel longer that the gamma ray?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. How far they travel depends on when or whether they hit an object that they cannot pass through.

Photon light ray
What are the similarities between light and gamma rays?
Light ray and gamma ray both travel in a straight line.
Does visible light requrie a medium?
since light wave is electromagnetic wave and is able to travel through vacuum. eg.x-ray gamma ray radio waves etc hence due to the electromagnetic properties of visible light it does not required medium
How do the suns ray's travel to earth?
Light is a wave that travels through space across matter. The same way that waves travel from the center of a pond to the edges when you toss a stone in it.
