In the Abbe refractometer the liquid sample is sandwiched into a thin layer between an illuminating prism and a refracting prism. The refracting prism is made of a glass with a high refractive index (e.g., 1.75) and the refractometer is designed to be used with samples having a refractive index smaller than that of the refracting prism.
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.
A prism spectrometer is an optical spectrometer which uses a dispersive prism as its dispersive element. The prism refracts light into its different colors ( wavelengths ). The dispersion occurs because the angle of refraction is dependent on the refractive index of the prism's material, which in turn is slightly dependent on the wavelength of ...
Photograph of a triangular prism, dispersing light Lamps as seen through a prism. In optics, a dispersive prism is an optical prism that is used to disperse light, that is, to separate light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow). Different wavelengths (colors) of light will be deflected by the prism at different angles. [1]
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 }
In a dispersive prism, material dispersion (a wavelength-dependent refractive index) causes different colors to refract at different angles, splitting white light into a spectrum. A compact fluorescent lamp seen through an Amici prism. Dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency. [1]
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 } .
Multiple prism beam expander using r prisms M is the total beam magnification given by M = k 1 k 2 k 3 ···k r, where k is defined in the previous entry and B is the total optical propagation distance [clarification needed] of the multiple prism expander. [5]
