A periscope can be raised and lowered depending on the depth of a submarine. Periscopes are like a small telescope that can be rotated to take in a 360 degree view of the submarine's surroundings. Periscopes have to be lowered before the submarine is submerged. Periscopes in nuclear submarines are now able to take pictures of surroundings.

What are the properties of image formed in a periscope?

The image formed in a periscope is virtual, upright, and laterally inverted. It appears closer and magnified compared to the actual object. The periscope uses multiple reflections to achieve this image formation.


Did the periscope davey have two lenses?

Yes, the periscope "Davey" typically has two lenses - one to capture images from above the water's surface and another to capture images underwater. This design allows for a dual view for observation above and below the water simultaneously.


How does the periscope use the properties of light?

A periscope uses the property of reflection to redirect light. Light enters through one end of the periscope, reflects off multiple mirrors inside the periscope, and exits out the other end, allowing the viewer to see an object that is not in their direct line of sight.


What is role of reflection in periscope?

Reflection plays a crucial role in a periscope by allowing light to bounce off the mirrors inside the periscope, enabling the viewer to see objects that are not in their direct line of sight. The mirrors are positioned at specific angles to reflect the light and create an image for the viewer to see. This process of reflection is what enables a periscope to work effectively in transmitting images from a distant object to the viewer's eye.


What are the properties of images of a plane mirror?

The image is equivalent to object in magnitude implying that the image is of the same size as the object.

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 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.
