Glass Prism

This glass prism is an optical teaching accessory for exploring refraction, light dispersion and spectrum formation. Available in 1.5-inch, 2-inch and 3-inch size options, it is suited to school and college physics practicals and classroom demonstrations.

Bring optics lessons to life by observing how a beam changes direction as it passes through the glass. With a suitable light source and experimental setup, students can investigate the separation of white light into its component colours.

Product details

• Material: glass.
• Optical surfaces: smooth, polished faces.
• Available size options: 1.5 inch, 2 inch and 3 inch.

Applications

Light refraction and dispersion experiments, spectrum demonstrations and investigations of internal reflection using an appropriate setup.

Selecting your prism

Select the required size before adding to cart. The dimension represented by each size label, prism angles and glass refractive index are not specified in this listing. Confirm these details if your practical requires a particular geometry or optical specification.

Care and handling

Handle carefully, protect the polished faces from scratches and store securely between practicals. Follow your laboratory's light-source safety instructions and never direct a laser beam towards anyone's eyes.
