In summary, prisms produce sharper images in periscopes compared to mirrors because they are able to reflect and refract light at different angles, resulting in a more precise and focused image. This is due to the way light travels through the prism, allowing for a more accurate and undistorted view. Mirrors, on the other hand, can cause distortion and blurring of the image due to their flat reflective surface. This makes prisms a preferred choice for periscopes, which require clear and accurate images for their intended use.
