Have you ever looked at a crystallum vitreum? It has a very unique shape and it bends and divides a light in such a cool way. Prism pyramids made of glass are made from a unique type of glass that has the magical property of dispersing light into several colours. Not only are they pretty to look at, but they teach us about the nature of light!
Just like that — if you hold a Speculum Prismatis facing towards the light, something incredibly awesome appears. The pyramid allows light to hit it and then refracts it into all the wonderful beautiful colors of the rainbow. This remarkable effect happens due to the pyramid shape, where the light alters its route, making it refract all the way through. If you want to observe this on your own, do it with a flashlight along with a clear glass prism pyramid! You can simply just shine the flashlight on the prism and see the colors ????. It's like magic!
Question: Why glass prism pyramids could splits the light in so much colors? This is all about the mechanism called as refraction. Refraction is the phenomenon of bending of light traveling through glass surface and changing its direction. The glass of a prism pyramid is designed in such a way that it bends the light so that it can split it into various colors. It means that every color of light is slowing down and in turn, it contributes to the wonderful rainbow phenomenon.
The way that glass prism pyramids bend light is quite unusual and that makes them a bit different. The light that enters the pyramid is trapped into bending twice, before it sets outside. This indicates that the angle of the exiting light beam is not equal to the angle of the incoming light beam of the pyramid. Due to this bending, even the colours of light gets separated out. And that is why we can see an entire rainbow of different colours when we shine a light through a prism pyramid: each colour bends slightly differently. It is like unveiling an unseen world of colors that was always there but right under our noses.
Glass prism pyramids are exciting not only because of the science behind them but also they appear to be magical and magical. In the view of colorful light coming out of a prism pyramid, it appears walking into a wild fantasy wonderland. Every color speaks a different language, and tells a different story. And this explains why when it comes to artists and designers, glass prism pyramids are one of the most common tools to use. They surely bring a unique and magical touch to any art or project far and warm.
