• It is made of plastic

• It is opaque

Why are prisms preferred over mirrors in periscopes?

• Prisms are lighter in weight

• Prisms are easier to clean

• Prisms provide a brighter and clearer image

• Prisms are cheaper to produce

What happens to light when it hits a prism in a periscope?

• It is absorbed

• It is scattered

• It is reflected
