在有些物理学书籍中对于潜望镜底历史的叙述是不正确的,他们认为潜望镜首先是在上世纪末期出现在西欧,在第一次世界大战中及其以后才把它应用在军事上。当然这些在军事上实际应用的潜望镜和原始的潜望镜相比是要复杂多了,然而我们却不能不知道世界上第一架利用光的反射特性制成的潜望镜底祖国就是中国——我们伟大的可爱的祖国。世界上第一架应用光的反射特性制成的潜望镜的时代不是在第一次世界大战时期,也不是在上一个世纪 The description of the periscope’s history in some physics books is not correct. They consider the periscope first appeared in Western Europe at the end of the last century and was applied to the military only during and after the First World War. Of course, these militarily practical periscopes are much more complicated than the original periscopes, yet we can not help but know that the world’s first periscope base made of the reflective properties of light is China - our great Lovely motherland. The era of the world’s first periscope made of reflective properties of light was not during the First World War nor was it the last century
