This depends on frequency. The lower the frequency the easier it is for the waves to refract around a corner, while higher frequencies generally only follow straight lines.

How does a periscope make light turn corners?

A periscope uses angled mirrors to reflect light at different angles, allowing it to travel around corners. The mirrors inside the periscope are set up to guide the light path from the object at one end to the observer's eye at the other end, creating the illusion that the observer is seeing directly in front of them.


What are the sources of energy that reach the troposphere?

The main sources of energy that reach the troposphere are solar radiation and infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface. Solar radiation heats the Earth's surface, which in turn emits thermal (infrared) radiation back into the atmosphere. This energy exchange drives atmospheric circulation and weather patterns within the troposphere.

Is a microwave a cuboid shape?

Yes, a microwave is typically a cuboid shape, with six flat faces and right angles at the corners. This shape allows for efficient distribution of microwave radiation and easy placement in most kitchen spaces.


How is ultraviolent radiation dangerous?

Ultraviolet is ionising radiation. That means that it will ionise (turn into ions) some substances due to being a high energy form of electromagnetic radiation. If these 'substances' happen to be in your skin then you can start to see how UV radiation can be bad.
