Question

A periscope (see figure below) is useful for viewing objects that cannot be seen directly. It can be used in submarines and when watching golf matches or parades from behind a crowd of people. Suppose the object is a distance p₁ from the upper mirror and the centers of the two flat mirrors are separated by a distance h.

An eye looks through a periscope to observe a golfer. A vertical cross-section of the periscope is shown, and it consists of a tall rectangle with openings on the lower-right and upper-left vertical sides. There are two mirrors in the periscope: one mirror is angled such that the lower right end of the mirror end is at the bottom-right corner of the rectangle, and the mirror forms about a 45° angle with the bottom of the rectangle, and spans the width of the rectangle; the other mirror is parallel to the first mirror—with the upper left end of the second mirror at the top-left corner of the rectangle—and spans the width of the rectangle. The distance between the centers of the mirrors is h. The eye is looking into the lower-right opening of the periscope. The golfer is at about the same height as the top mirror, and is a horizontal distance p₁to the left of the center of the top mirror.

(a) What is the distance of the final image from the lower mirror? (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.)

d = ?

behind the lower mirror

(b) Is the final image real or virtual?

virtual or real

inverted or upright

(d) What is its magnification?

(e) Does it appear to be left–right reversed?

Yes or No
