Item Description:
All of our prisms come in our padded satin lined box.
How does a prism create a rainbow?
When light moves from air into the glass of the prism, light refraction occurs. The design of the prism causes the light to change direction. A ray of light is made up of many wavelengths of light. Each wavelength passes through the prism with resistance than the other light waves. The wavelengths normally travel together but get dispersed passing through a prism and we can see them separately as a rainbow.
Prisms are not just For science class and fun light experiments either. Both amateur and photographers can use prisms to create interesting effects in their pictures. See below For more inFormation on how to make a rainbow and the fractal lens effects you can create with our prism.
