Periscope Trial
We made a periscope out of a milk carton and we used
two plastic coated mirrors. We then tested it out and discovered
some design faults.
What We Found out
We found out that our periscope plastic coated mirrors
were very blurry because they were too flexible and had a
rough surface. We also discovered our mirrors were not stable
and our entire milk carton periscope was too fragile.
Solution
We could change our periscope by making it out of thick
cardboard and securing two smooth surface glass mirrors
with stronge tape which would then produce a clearer picture.
Futher Ouestions to investigate
If we lined the inside of our periscope with glass
coated mirrors whould the picture be clearer? |
