Periscope is a tube containing mirrors or prisms for seeing things which are otherwise not possible to see due to some obstacle. Two mirrors are aligned at 45 degrees through which light bounces off and enables the observer to see beyond the obstacle. This is specially used in submarines.

A kaleidoscope is an optical device which contains mirrors and colored glass pieces in a tube. When the tube is rotated, beautiful patterns are formed due to multiple reflections.
