Prism, Acrylic Equilateral Prism, 25mm face x 25mm length. Optically Clear.

GSC International 4-90968A Prism, Acrylic Equilateral Prism, 25mm face x 25mm length. Optically Clear.  These prisms are made of optically-clear acrylic. They have an equilateral triangle shape, and are boxed individually. Each side of the equilateral-triangle-face is 25mm. This prism is 25mm long. The equilateral prism serves as a practical and visual tool for teaching fundamental optics concepts, helping students better grasp the behavior of light. The prism is most famously used to show how white light can be split into its component colors, a phenomenon known as dispersion. When light passes through the prism, it bends (refracts) due to the change in medium, and different wavelengths of light bend by different amounts. This spreads the light out into a spectrum of colors, demonstrating how visible light is composed of various wavelengths. The equal angles of an equilateral prism ensure that the light paths through it are predictable, which simplifies the analysis of refraction and
