A submarine periscope uses two totally reflecting 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection on the sides adjacent to the 45

degree angles. Explain why the periscope will no longer work if it springs a leak and the bottom prism is covered with water. Note: The index of refraction for water is 1.33. The index of refraction for glass is 1.52

Answer

Given,

Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.

refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33

refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52

When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.

  If you have ever lived in Chicago, then the answer might very well be C. 
Newton's Second law states F = ma. This problem has nothing to do with acceleration. 
Newton's Third law is the familiar action/reaction law. If the poles are anchored well enough and have a flexural strength greater than the tension exerted on them by the wire; then D is just.
That leaves B. There's no problem all we have to do is to increase the horizontal tension in the cable.
