The angle of inclination of a mirror in the periscope is inclined at 45° so that the light-ray always travel in parallel direction with the tube of the periscope. When the viewer looks into periscope, he can easily  analyse the picture outside, as the light-rays are parallel to horizontal as it would have been in normal viewing.
