    In a periscope, how are the reflecting mirrors arranged?

    A)  Perpendicular to each other

    B)                         Parallel to each other

    C)                         At an angle of \[{{90}^{\text{o}}}\]

    D)                         At an angle of \[{{60}^{\text{o}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The two reflecting, plane mirrors arranged in a periscope are parallel to each other. The light ray from the object is incident on the first plane mirror at an angle of \[45{}^\circ \] and the reflected ray is incident on the second mirror at \[45{}^\circ \] and is then reflected at \[45{}^\circ \], which finally reaches the retina of the eye.
