How does a periscope work that uses 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.

The mirrors are fitted at 45 degree angles in a periscope in the opposite directions. when you see through the periscope, the image gets reflected.
How has the development of a periscope changed over the years?
the mirrors of a periscope have gotten bigger and are easier to see out of.

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.
