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.
An early form of the periscope was used to see over the tops of the trenches.
The antonym for "periscope" is "submerge." A periscope is a device used to see above water, while submerge means to go underwater or be completely covered by something.

In trench warfare much use was made of devices which allowed an observer to safely see across no-mans land. The periscope was one such item.The periscope was made of wood and folded into halves so as to allow ease of carriage. When used in the trenches the folding periscope was often camouflaged with sacking. A periscope is also used for looking out of boats to see if an enemy ship is around.

The Captain used the periscope to locate the enemy ships.A periscope is the eye of a submarine.
Yes sonar can be used at periscope depth. Surface ships also have sonar arrays on them. They are usually used to detect submarines.
