What is the principle of a periscope?

The answer is that one mirror inside the periscope is meant to reflect the light onto the other mirror so that it goes back into your eyes. It was popularly used in World War I to see over the trenches without being a heavy target to artillery. It is also still used in submarines to see above water level whilst staying submerged.For a diagram that will (should) help, copy and paste the link below:http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2000-05/959444445.Eg.1.jpg
