What type of reflection is made by periscope?
it is prism
What is a periscope mirror called?
A periscope mirror is referred to as a "prism" or a "reflecting prism." It is the component used within a periscope to reflect light at a 90-degree angle, allowing for the viewing of objects that are not in direct line of sight.
What are the parts of the periscope?
The periscope has several parts: the ocular lenses, the mirror or prism, inversion/reversion prisms, relay lenses, another mirror or prism, and objective lenses.
Would a mirror periscope be better than a prism periscope?
It depends on the specific requirements of the periscope. A mirror periscope may be more cost-effective and simple to construct, but a prism periscope can offer a wider field of view and better image quality due to reduced light loss. Choose based on the specific needs of the application.
What happens in a periscope?
A periscope uses mirrors to allow someone to see over obstacles or around corners. Light enters through one end of the periscope, reflects off the mirrors inside, and then exits through the eyepiece, providing a view of the surrounding area without being directly in the line of sight.
What does the captain of a submarine look through?
When at periscope depth, they look through the periscope. It is a prism arrangement that allows good vision around the area. It also provided for gauging distances with a built in range finder.
What does a prism do in a periscope?
it bounces the light from the mirrors so that the light is bounced into the persons eye
How does the periscope help the scientists?
well it is very good for them
What does the prism in the periscope do compared to the mirror usually used?
Mirrors have distortion in the images they project while prisms create undistorted images. :D
How does a periscope of prism work?
A periscope using prisms operates by redirecting light through two angled prisms. The first prism receives light from the object being observed and refracts it at a 45-degree angle, sending it horizontally. The second prism then captures this light and refracts it again at another 45-degree angle, directing it to the viewer's eye. This arrangement allows the viewer to see objects that are out of direct line of sight, such as over obstacles.
How will a periscope help you watch a crowded football match?
A periscope will let you see up and over the crowd which lets you see the game.
Why was the periscope invented?
To help see an object behind an obstacle.
