    A periscope allows observers, such as those on submarines, to view areas that would otherwise be blocked using a system of lenses and mirrors. It works by having light reflect between two mirrors inclined at 45 degree angles, with the light reflecting from one mirror to the other and into the observer's eyes, letting them see over or through objects. Periscopes are commonly used on submarines to allow the viewing of what is happening on the water's surface from below.

    A

    periscope is an instrument containing lenses and mirrors by which an observer (as on a submerged
    submarine) can get a view that would otherwise be blocked. A simple periscope uses two mirrors
    inclined at an angle of 45 degrees as shown in the figure. When light falls on one mirror, it is reflected
    back and falls on the other mirror and gets reflected to the observer's eyes. It helps to view over, around
    or through an object.

    What is a periscope used for?


    A periscope lets you look around walls, corners or other obstacles. Submarines have periscopes so that
    people inside can what is on the surface of the water. A periscope is a useful example of the law of
    reflection at work.
