  3. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    A ray trace through a prism with apex angle α. Regions 0, 1, and 2 have indices of refraction, , and , and primed angles ′ indicate the ray's angle after refraction.. Ray angle deviation and dispersion through a prism can be determined by tracing a sample ray through the element and using Snell's law at each interface.

    A triplet prism, showing the apex angles (, , and ) of the three elements, and the angles of incidence and refraction ′ at each interface. The deviation angle of the ray transmitted by the prism is shown as δ {\displaystyle \delta } .

  5. Wedge prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_prism

    The wedge prism is a prism with a shallow angle between its input and output surfaces. This angle is usually 3 degrees or less. Refraction at the surfaces causes the prism to deflect light by a fixed angle. When viewing a scene through such a prism, objects will appear to be offset by an amount that varies with their distance from the prism.

    A double-Amici prism, showing the apex angles (and ) of the three elements, and the angles of incidence and refraction ′ at each interface. The deviation angle of the ray transmitted by the prism is shown as δ {\displaystyle \delta }

  7. Refractometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractometer

    Schematic setup of an automatic refractometer: An LED light source is imaged under a wide range of angles onto a prism surface which is in contact with a sample. Depending on the difference in the refractive index between prism material and sample the light is partly transmitted or totally reflected.

  8. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    In the technical terminology of gemology, dispersion is the difference in the refractive index of a material at the B and G (686.7 nm and 430.8 nm) or C and F (656.3 nm and 486.1 nm) Fraunhofer wavelengths, and is meant to express the degree to which a prism cut from the gemstone demonstrates "fire". Fire is a colloquial term used by ...

  9. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    An oblique prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are not perpendicular to the base faces. Example: a parallelepiped is an oblique prism whose base is a parallelogram, or equivalently a polyhedron with six parallelogram faces. Right Prism. A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base ...
