Question

The angle which the mirrors in a periscope make with the horizontal is ___ degrees.

  1. 30
  2. 45
  3. 60
  4. 90

hintHint:

The two mirrors are parallel to each other but at an angle.

The correct answer is: 45


    • periscope, an optical instrument used in land and sea warfare, submarine navigation, etc., allows observers to hide behind objects, hide behind armor, or see their surroundings while underwater
    • The simplest type of periscope consists of a tube, at the end of which there are two mirrors placed parallel to each other, but at an angle of 45° to the axis of the tube. This device does not produce magnification and does not provide cross-line images. Viewing angles are limited by the tube's simple geometry.
    Whether the tube is long or narrow, the field of view is narrow.
