How do you binoculars scientifically work?
missmex! asked:
Like why do they need so many internal lenses, etc. You know…Why we don’t see upside down in them? Sorry I may just be blabbing. It has to involve light technology in with binoculars. Thanks. Best answer gets 10 points!

Binoculars have two 45 degree prisms in each barrel that reflect the light (four reflections) in such a way that the inverted image is upright. The reflection occurs via total internal reflection due to the 45 degree angle of the prism.
