Question

In world war 1 , Multiple reflection was used in submarines. How multiple reflection works and helps in such situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Submarines use a device called Periscope that uses the concept of multiple reflections and help us see objects above the water surface.

Explanation:

When a light ray falls on a reflecting surface like a mirror, it gets reflected.  In multiple reflections, the incident light ray is made to reflect multiple times by arranging the reflecting surfaces in different ways.

In submarines, we use Periscope, which is a long tube like structure. The long tube is bent at ends. It uses two simple mirrors which are placed parallel to each other at an angle of 45 degrees. The light from one mirror gets reflected to the other mirror, thus causing a multiple reflection.
