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.

RossAh, periscopes are such fascinating tools, aren't they? Placing mirrors at a 45-degree angle in a periscope allows light to enter one mirror, reflect off at a 90-degree angle, and then reflect again off the second mirror, effectively changing the direction of the light by 180 degrees. This clever design helps us see objects that are not in our direct line of sight, like submarines peeking above the water's surface.

What angle are the mirrors in a periscope set?
at 45 degree it is placed
How many images are formed when two plain mirriors are placed at 150 degree angle?
When two plain mirrors are placed at a 150-degree angle, multiple images are formed. The number of images formed can be calculated using the formula: ( \text{Number of images} = \frac{360}{\text{angle between the mirrors}} - 1 ). In this case, with a 150-degree angle, the calculation would be ( \frac{360}{150} - 1 = 2 ) images are formed.
What are images formed when two mirrors are kept at an angle of 72 degree?
Reflections and reflections of reflections.
When two plane mirrors are placed at an angle of 60 degrees to each other the images formed are?
Virtual images.
How many images are formed when the two mirrors are inclined at an angle of 80 degree?
4.5 or 3.5 The number is five.
