They were used in the first world war in submarines. The are used now also for submarines and also war tanks. The outer coating of the periscope for the submarines were firm and waterproof for protection from the water pressure. As for the war tank the periscope is able to turn 360 degrees.
No. Though periscopes may be binocular
well i can tell you what it is but im not quit sure what you mean by an example.... it is a optical instrument for viewing objects that are above the level of direct sight; mostly used in submarines
They may have built some of the first periscopes.
If light didn't reflect off objects, you wouldn't be able to see them. Mirrors are used as coherent reflectors of received light. Mirrors can be used in periscopes to see around corners, or just on their own to see what one looks like.
can some one help me because i am doing a science project and i need to know and some other facts about periscopes
periscopes are used for submarines and war tanks
Periscopes were used in both WW1 and WW2. They were used on submarines and in the trenches. It was dangerous to look over the top of a trench so soldiers developed "trench periscopes".

Periscopes use mirrors or prisms to get angled viewsGutenberg, famous for the printing press, also marketed periscopesThey are used in many armored vehicles
There are many types of periscopes used in different applications. A periscope is useful anywhere where you cannot or do not want to stick you head out to see something. Most commonly periscopes are associated with submarines, where they are used to look above the water without having the boat surface. This lets the sailors see the situation while being safely hidden underwater. Periscopes are also used in tanks to see without sticking out of the hatch. This keeps the crew from getting shot when they are checking out the battlefield. There are also trench periscopes used for the same reason. Also, fortifications such as bunkers can have periscopes to see without going outside. Police sometimes use periscopes (although cameras are more common now) to look around corners. There are even periscope peepholes that were used in doors, which are a periscope mounted on the door sideways. The idea was that an attacker might ring the doorbell and shoot under the peephole when hearing someone walk up to the door. Having the eyepiece off to the side would keep the person inside out of the line of fire.
i think they are used in submarines,tanks,and also are used like a telescope..
to see around corners or above walls and fences etc
You would use periscopes for spying or looking above a persons head
Periscopes were used to watch and observe and spy on the enemy lines during the war and are still used in submarines

No, periscopes allow you to observe objects while you are hidden.
Periscopes are devices that use mirrors to allow people to view past obstacles. Submarines commonly use periscopes to see above the water without having to surface.
