Simple Periscope (Lab 10 of 23)

This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. This lab explores simple periscopes, which are optical systems used in marine settings. The experiment provides a real-world example of the refraction and reflection of light, as well as the use of lenses, prisms, and optical fiber components. Equipment includes a red laser diode module, two mirrors on wooden blocks, a protractor, pencil, and white sheet of paper. The video recording runs 10:57 minutes in length.
