4.00 €(3.31 € VAT excl.)In stock.-
CUBE optical prism is a transparent optical element, usually made of glass, It is used to refract (refraction) light and (or) split it into colors.
Shape: CUBE all sides of the same length
Material: optical glass
Surfaces: polished optical surfaces through which light passes
Dimensions: length 2 cm width 2 cm height 2 cm
How does it work?When white light enters the prism:
It refracts (changes direction) when passing from air to glass.
Light of different wavelengths refracts differently.
As a result, dispersion occurs - white light is split into a spectrum of colors (rainbow).
USES
Spectroscopy – analysis of light by spectrum
Optical instruments – microscopes, telescopes, binoculars
Laser technology
Education – for demonstrations in physics classes
The decomposition of light in a triangular prism was first studied in detail by Isaac Newton in the 17th century, showing that white light is made up of different colors.
