If the angles of the mirrors that you used on periscope are not parallel to each other you would see the image upside down.

In a periscope, light reflects off a series of mirrors at specific angles. This reflection process causes the image to appear upside down when viewed through the periscope.

When you first see an image does it appears upside down until the brain translates what you see?

When the image reaches the eye, it is right-side up. The optics in your eye flip the image upside down in the process of absorbing the light. The up-side down image is then sent to your brain. You brain translates it back to right side up, and then creates the image for you to see. The image never appears upside down to you, because your brain does not create the image for you to see until it has flipped it back right-side up.


Description of the image form in the eye?

If you could see the image projected onto the retina of the eye by the lens, it would be of the environment that the person in question is looking at, but upside down.


A convex lens projects an image that is upside down If the image on your retina is upside down why doesnt the world look upside down to you?

The brain automatically corrects the inversion of the image on the retina, so the world appears right side up to us. This is due to the way our brains process visual information and interpret it as being upright.


What is the antonym for periscope?

The antonym for "periscope" is "submerge." A periscope is a device used to see above water, while submerge means to go underwater or be completely covered by something.


Why do things look upside down in the microscope?

Things may appear upside down in a microscope due to the nature of the lenses used. Microscopes use convex lenses that invert the image as light passes through them. This optical property is essential for magnifying the specimen for examination.

Why can not we see upside down image of the sun?

You can - use a pinhole camera ( or viewer).


What kind of lens do you see it image upside down?

A concave lens will typically produce an upside-down image. This happens because concave lenses diverge light rays when they pass through the lens, causing the image to appear inverted.


Do you see things upside down?

Yes, we do in fact see things upside down until our brain turns it back around for us. You can prove this fact when you look at your self on the outside of a spoon, you will see yourself upside down! In fact our eyes see things the right way up but the image appears upside down in the retina, our brain works so fast that it can interpret the image quickly. +++ The spoon is no test of how sight works, but demonstrates a property of convex mirrors!


How the use of mirrors helps the user of a periscope see above the water surface?

The mirrors are fitted at 45 degree angles in a periscope in the opposite directions. when you see through the periscope, the image gets reflected.


Why isn't the image in a periscope laterally inverted?

The image in a periscope is not laterally inverted because it undergoes two reflections inside the periscope, which cancel out the inversion. When light reflects off two mirrors in the periscope, the orientation of the image is maintained.


What does the brain do with the information from the eye?

Since your eyes see it upside-down (believe it or not), along the tracks the image is turned rightside-up and then then that is what you see....


Why the image in the periscope is upright?

The periscope uses a system of mirrors to reflect and redirect light, allowing the observer to see around obstacles such as the walls of a trench or the side of a ship. The mirrors in the periscope are strategically angled in a way that maintains the orientation of the image, resulting in an upright view for the observer.

Do new born babies see things upside down?

Eyes work the same way regardless of the position of the head, and regardless of age. Of course, understanding what you see is another matter. I doubt that an upside down baby understands what it sees. But it does see. When they are first born, yes, we all see things upside down but our brains reverse the image. If you wear a pair of specially made spectacles that gives images upside down, for a few days you will see things upside down after you remove them until your brain can readjust to it. The reason for two answers to this question is the ambiguity of the question. Do you want to know if babies can see when they are upside down, or do you want to know if babies see an upside down image. You have an answer in either case.
