Periscope works on the principle of:
Periscope works on the principle of:
- A. refraction of light
- B. reflection of light
- C. diffraction of light
- D. scattering of light
Step-by-step solution
A periscope uses two mirrors placed at 45° angles to reflect light from one end to the other, enabling the user to see over obstacles. This is based on the law of reflection, not refraction, diffraction, or scattering.
