Why are mirrors placed at 45 degree angle in a periscope?

so that light bounces off one to the other lets say you want to look up to see what is in front of you. If you look up at a angle that is completely vertical, that degree measurement would be 90*. the horizontal plane would be 0*. the angle in-between the two is 45*. so if you look up, at 90* at a mirror that is placed at 45* then you will see what ever is in the mirror at 0* in front of the mirror. If the mirror was at lets say 75* you would look up at the sky, if the angle was at 30* you would look at the water.


Is heat measured in degrees?

No. Heat is one of many forms of energy, and is measured in units of energy ... joules, calories, watt-seconds, BTU, foot-pounds, etc. "Degrees" describe the temperature of an object or a sample of a substance. That's a measure of how "full of heat" it is. One joule of heat will fill an ounce of water higher than the same joule will fill a gallon of water. So after absorbing the same amount of heat, the temperature of the ounce is higher than the gallon's temperature.
