Does a periscope use an refraction?

Yes, a periscope uses reflection, not refraction, of light to allow an observer to see objects that are not in their direct line of sight. Light enters through one end of the periscope, reflects off a series of mirrors or prisms, and exits through the other end to provide an observation at a higher or lower vantage point.


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.


Does a periscope work on reflection of light?

Yes, a periscope works by using mirrors to reflect light at an angle to allow a viewer to see around obstacles or over obstacles such as walls, fences, or across distances.


How does a periscope on a tank work?

A periscope on a tank works by using mirrors to reflect light from the outside to allow the viewer to see what is happening above the tank, without exposing themselves to potential enemy fire. The periscope is mounted on top of the tank and the viewer can adjust the angle of the mirrors to change the viewing direction.


How do you use a periscope?

To use a periscope, you look through one end while the other end is extended above an obstacle or around a corner to view something that is out of your line of sight. By using the mirrors inside the periscope, you can see images from a different angle without exposing yourself.

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.
