periscopes are used in submarines under water. In ancient times it was used to look through caves so that they donot get in any danger.They are also used to look through a huge crowd or mob.
a perascope uses light by bouncing it off mirrors
The basic periscope uses flat mirrors, to bend and offset the optical path. If magnification is required, then the periscope will use convex objective and eyepiece lenses, becoming a refracting telescope with an offset in its optical path.
A periscope is an optical instrument that uses a system of prisms, lenses, or mirrors to reflect images through a tube. Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer's eye.
There are many more than just two uses of a periscope. In WW1 periscopes were used to look over the trenches and across no mans land at the enemy. Of course periscopes are used in submarines to see above the water. There are also many other uses but if you are just looking for two main uses then they would be looking over walls and around corners.
Binoculars, Rear reflectors and periscope cant think of 5 sorry:(
Submerin
a perascope uses light by bouncing it off mirrors
A periscope works using two mirrors placed at 45 degree angles and in the direction you wish to see. A periscope uses the two mirrors to bounce light from one place to another. The light comes through the lense, bounces off one mirror to the other and then into the person's eye.

¨ For naval use or for other war-like purposes. To get the view of outside of water
A periscope: An optical instrument that uses a series of prisms, lenses and mirrors to reflect images through a tube. Most often associated with submarines but they can also have other practical uses.A periscope works by using mirrors to bounce light from one mirror to the other. A normal periscope uses two mirrors at 45 degrees angles to the direction you want to see. The light bounces from one to the other and then to your eye. A periscope helps you to see around corners and over walls, they are also used on submarines so that they out and see around things.
Periscopes A periscope is a instrument of observation used for naval use or for other war-like purposes. In fact the first periscope prototype was made by Johann Gutenberg which was used to enable people to see over the heads of the crowd at the Vigintennial religious festival at Aachen. In the navy it is used in submarines to view possible threats such as enemy submarines or sea mines. Marie Davey built the first naval periscope, a simple, fixed periscope using mirrors in 1854. A periscope works by using two mirrors to bounce light from one place to another. A typical periscope uses two mirrors at 45 degree angles to the direction one desires to see. The light bounces from one to the other and then out to the person's eye.

Big ships such as Navy's have periscopes and submarines have it too. If it is high for you to see you will use an periscopes.
well there really is no antonym that i know of for periscope because a periscope is an object.
someone discovered the periscope
