Glass Prism
|
This prism is made using optical glass and will demonstrate that white light is made up of the colours of the rainbow.
This is known as a spectrum.
In the 17th century Sir Isaac Newton was the first to prove that white light was in fact made up of different colours.
He used a glass prism in his experiments.
The prism is 5cm (2 in) long. Each side is about 2.5 cm (1 in).
In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light.

Discovery Prism
|
Divide light into color instantly! High-quality 4-inch (10 cm) right-angle acrylic prism divides white light into a colorful spectrum. Excellent for optics and physics studies. Includes a fun and informative guide book.
Although no one knows who invented the prism, Sir Isaac Newton first studied prisms in 1666. He passed sunlight through a prism and called the band of separated colours a 'spectrum', which means 'ghost of light'.

Make a mirage appear - right before your eyes!
Even the camera sees it. But you can't touch it! And neither will anyone
else.
Scientists call these amazing phenomena three-dimensional
real images. Indeed, the illusions you can create are so brilliant,
so alive with color and depth, they defy, yet demand, explanation.
Never has the fine line between reality and perception
been exposed with such startling clarity. Mirage faithfully
reproduces every detail of... more >>> |

Holographic Diffraction Grating Film (unmounted)
|
Holographic diffraction grating film is used to break up white light into all the colors of the spectrum. It is an ideal choice for spectroscopy experiments, since holographic gratings exhibit significantly sharper diffraction orders than their ruled counterparts by reducing the amount of stray light produced. This results in an increased ability to view absorption and emission lines, with higher spatial frequency gratings (1000 lines/mm).
Other sizes available on request, up to 6" wide x several... more >>> |

Large Equilateral Prism
|
14 x 3.2 x 3.2 x 3.2 cm, acrylic
In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. The exact angles between the surfaces depend on the application. The traditional geometrical shape is that of a triangular prism with a triangular base and rectangular sides, and in colloquial use "prism" usually refers to this type. Some types of optical prism are not in fact in the shape of geometric prisms. Prisms are typically made out of glass, but can be made from... more >>> |
