Question
A periscope works on the principle of
Solution
Total internal reflection (TIR) is the phenomenon that involves the reflection of the entire incident light off the boundary. Glass prisms can be shaped to produce total internal reflection and as such are employed in binoculars, periscopes, telescopes, and other optical instruments. For the prism used in periscope, the light rays hit the inside surface at an angle greater than the critical angle of 42 and hence they are internally reflected.
