rectangular glass prism

Have you ever seen the rectangular shape of a glass block? It is a beautiful thing that refracts ordinary light into a bright, multi-colored rainbow! That unique form allows light to behave in remarkable fashions. So come with me and let us delve into this marvel of a thing and see what it has to offer!

Something magical occurs when light goes through a 90 degree prism. This will cause the light to bend, and break up into all those lovely colors of the rainbow! It's called refraction, and it's a pretty awesome effect. This is possible with a rectangular glass prism since glass possess a special feature that makes it bend light more than air.

Bending Light Through a Rectangular Glass Prism!"

As light enters the glass at first, it slows down somewhat and therefore bends toward the center of the glass. The middle is seemingly a line that appears at 90° to the glass and moves up and down through it. This is a line that is normal to the circle. Once the light has passed through the glass and exits out into the air again, it speeds up and refracts away from the normal line. The bending of light causes the various colors to separate and creates such an exquisite array!

A rectangular shape glass prism has number of cool features or properties which are important in science as well. A relevant property is the angle between the two sides of a prism, which is called an angle of deviation. This angle differs based on the color(or wavelength) of light passing through a prism.
