Periscopes work by using two mirrors at 45-degree angles to reflect light. Light hits the top mirror at a 45-degree angle and reflects down to the bottom mirror, then hits that mirror and reflects into the eye, allowing the user to see over or around obstacles without being seen.

same angle that it hits the mirror. In the periscope, light hits the top mirror at a 45- degree angle and reflects away at the same angle, which bounces it down to the bottom mirror. That reflected light hits the second mirror at a 45-degree angle and reflects away at the same angle, right into eye.
