Correct Answer: reflection


Solution : The correct answer is reflection.

A periscope operates according to the law of reflection, which dictates that light from an object falls on one mirror at a 45° angle and is reflected. This reflected light then strikes another mirror and is reflected once again until it reaches the human eye. Light reflects when it bounces off an item.
