Optic prism

Product Code : SCL-OS-12815

The Optic Prism by Educational Instrument India is a high-quality optical component designed for physics laboratory experiments related to light, refraction, dispersion, deviation, spectrum formation, and geometrical optics. It is commonly used in schools, colleges, universities, and science laboratories for practical demonstrations of how light bends and separates into different colours when passing through a transparent prism.

This prism helps students clearly understand important optics concepts such as refraction through a prism, angle of incidence, angle of deviation, refractive index, white light dispersion, and formation of the visible spectrum. When used with a ray box, laser ray box, or white light source, the Optic Prism provides a practical and visual learning experience.

Manufactured with clear optical material and polished surfaces, the Optic Prism is suitable for repeated educational use and is an essential accessory for ray optics and light experiments.

Product Specifications

How to Use

Place the Optic Prism securely on a stable laboratory table, prism holder, or optical bench.

Position a ray box, laser ray box, or white light source so that light enters one face of the prism.

Adjust the angle of the prism to observe the refracted or deviated ray.

For dispersion experiments, allow white light to pass through the prism and observe the spectrum formed on a screen.

Mark the incident ray, refracted ray, and emergent ray if performing ray-tracing experiments.

Measure the angle of incidence, angle of emergence, and angle of deviation using a protractor where required.

Compare the observations with the theoretical principles of refraction and dispersion.

After use, clean the prism gently with a soft lens cloth.

Store the prism safely to avoid scratches, cracks, or damage.
