Periscope Diagram Labelled. A periscope is an optical instrument that uses a system of prisms lenses or mirrors to reflect images through a tube. Students draw light rays reflecting off mirrors to demonstrate how a periscope works.
Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at. Sep 22 2007 updated. In its simplest form it consists of an outer case with mirrors at each end set parallel to each other at a 45 angle.

In its simplest form it consists of an outer case with mirrors at each end set parallel to each other at a 45 angle. In a periscope light from an object strikes the top mirror at 45 and bounces off at the same angle.
