What is the number of mirrors used to make a simple periscope?
2.
How does a periscope use reflection?
a perascope uses light by bouncing it off mirrors
Did periscope use convex or concave mirror?
The basic periscope uses flat mirrors, to bend and offset the optical path. If magnification is required, then the periscope will use convex objective and eyepiece lenses, becoming a refracting telescope with an offset in its optical path.
What is a periscope in detail?
A periscope is an optical instrument that uses a system of prisms, lenses, or mirrors to reflect images through a tube. Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer's eye.
How can you look over a wall with a periscope?
You can look over a wall with a periscope because the tube has mirrors what are on a 45 degree angle so the light goes in the top, reflects off the top mirror, then onto the bottom mirror and then into your eyes. Don't forget: Light only travels in straight lines
How many mirrors are in submarine?
If you mean in the periscope, two.
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
How is light redirected in a periscope?
With mirrors. A simple periscope can be constructed out of a vertical tube with mirrors placed at a 45-degree angle at the top and bottom of the tube.
How the use of mirrors helps the user of a periscope see above the water surface?
The mirrors are fitted at 45 degree angles in a periscope in the opposite directions. when you see through the periscope, the image gets reflected.
How has the development of a periscope changed over the years?
the mirrors of a periscope have gotten bigger and are easier to see out of.
How has the periscope developed over the years?
they use diffrent mirrors
What is the number of mirrors used to make a simple periscope?

How does a periscope work that uses mirrors?
A periscope works using two mirrors placed at 45 degree angles and in the direction you wish to see. A periscope uses the two mirrors to bounce light from one place to another. The light comes through the lense, bounces off one mirror to the other and then into the person's eye.
What angle are the mirrors in a periscope set?
at 45 degree it is placed
What two mirrors device use by sailors in a submarine?
The periscope, and I believe they have a lot more than 2 mirrors.
What part of speech is periscope?
The word "periscope" is a noun. It refers to a device used for seeing over obstacles or around corners, typically by the use of mirrors and lenses.
What law doe a periscope use?
Mirrors for the simplest, combined with optics if your periscope has magnification. It may well incorporate direction and range indication.
