so that light bounces off one to the other
lets say you want to look up to see what is in front of you. If you look up at a angle that is completely vertical, that degree measurement would be 90*. the horizontal plane would be 0*. the angle in-between the two is 45*. so if you look up, at 90* at a mirror that is placed at 45* then you will see what ever is in the mirror at 0* in front of the mirror. If the mirror was at lets say 75* you would look up at the sky, if the angle was at 30* you would look at the water.

What angle are the mirrors in a periscope set?
at 45 degree it is placed
What are images formed when two mirrors are kept at an angle of 72 degree?
Reflections and reflections of reflections.
When two plane mirrors are placed at an angle of 60 degrees to each other the images formed are?
Virtual images.
How many images are formed when the two mirrors are inclined at an angle of 80 degree?
4.5 or 3.5 The number is five.
What do you understand by multiple images?
a number of images that are formed if the object is placed between two mirrors at an angle. This is called multiple images.
What angle are the mirrors in a periscope set?
at 45 degree it is placed
How is light redirected in a periscope?
With mirrors. A simple periscope can be constructed out of a vertical tube with mirrors placed at a 45-degree angle at the top and bottom of the tube.
How periscope is made?
A Periscope is a type of observation material used during World War I. It is made up of two mirrors in parallel position with an angle of 45 degree placed inside a case. Periscope can also be seen on submarines and other military equipment.
How many images will be formed if two mirrors placed at 60 degree angle?
5
How many images will be formed if two mirrors placed at 120 degree angle?
2 images are formed
How can you look over a wall with a periscope?
You can look over a wall with a periscope because the tube has mirrors what are on a 45 degree angle so the light goes in the top, reflects off the top mirror, then onto the bottom mirror and then into your eyes. Don't forget: Light only travels in straight lines
How does light travel through a periscope?
Simply a periscope is a tube with two right angles top and bottom. In the right angle section two mirrors are set at a 45 degree angle. Thus light coming in the top horizontal tube hits the mirror and is reflected down the vertical bit of the tube where it hits the second mirror and is reflected out horizontally again.
What is a periscope made of?

How many images would be formed when two plane mirrors are placed at an angle of 90 degree?
3.3.3.3.
What is a periscope in detail?
A periscope is an optical instrument that uses a system of prisms, lenses, or mirrors to reflect images through a tube. Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer's eye.
Why does a periscope need two mirrors at a 45 degree angle?
Because the bottem mirror which is set and 45 degrees the light bounces off of and goes up at exactly 90 degrees that light then bounces off the top mirror and out a hole for you to look through.
How many images are formed when two mirrors are placed at a right angle?
3 Images
