Question

A periscope consists of two flat mirrors and is used for viewing objects when an obstacle impedes direct viewing. Suppose Curious George is looking through a periscope, in which the two flat mirrors are separated by a distance L=0.400 mL=0.400 \mathrm{~m}, at the Man in the Yellow Hat, whose hat is at d0=3.00 md_0=3.00 \mathrm{~m} from the upper mirror. What is the distance DD of the final image of the yellow hat from the lower mirror?

Given:

In this problem we consider a periscope that uses two plane mirrors that are separated from each other by a distance:

L=0.400 mL =0.400\text{ m}

The distance of the object from the upper flat mirror is:

do=3.00 md_o=3.00\text{ m}

Requirements:

We need to calculate the distance of the final image of the object from the lower plane mirror:

D=?D=?
