Product Code : SCL-LAO-11298
The Optical Refraction Prism is a transparent glass component used for demonstrating refraction, angular deviation and the dispersion of white light. It is designed for students, teachers and laboratory instructors conducting supervised ray-optics, prism and introductory spectroscopy experiments.
Product Description
The Optical Refraction Prism changes the direction of a light ray as it enters and leaves its polished refracting faces. In an equilateral-prism experiment, students can trace the incident, refracted and emergent rays, measure prism deviation and examine how the result changes with the angle of incidence.
Lab Equipments Ambala publishes this transparent glass prism as product code EL-LAO-10341. Available configurations include 38 mm and 50 mm equilateral prisms in superior or routine quality, as well as 38 mm and 50 mm right-angle prisms. The required geometry and quality grade should be specified when ordering.
Key Features
- Transparent glass construction: Provides visible refracting faces for educational light experiments.
- Multiple configurations: Published options include equilateral and 45°–45°–90° right-angle prisms.
- Two nominal sizes: Available in 38 mm and 50 mm configurations.
- Quality options: Equilateral versions are listed in superior and routine quality grades.
- Refraction demonstrations: Supports tracing of incident, internal and emergent ray paths.
- Dispersion activities: An equilateral prism can separate suitable white light into a visible spectrum.
- Reusable optics component: Suitable for repeated school, college and teacher-led demonstrations.

How to Use the Optical Refraction Prism
- Place the prism on clean paper, a ray-tracing board or a suitable prism table.
- Trace its outline without moving the component.
- Direct a narrow light ray toward one refracting face.
- Mark the incident ray and the emerging ray.
- Remove the prism and reconstruct the internal ray path.
- Draw normals at the entry and exit points.
- Measure the required incidence, refraction and deviation angles.
- Repeat with other incidence angles or the selected prism configuration.
Safety note: Handle the prism by its non-optical edges. Do not use chipped glass, and never direct a laser, concentrated beam or dispersed sunlight toward the eyes.
Care & Maintenance
- Clean polished faces with a soft, lint-free optical cloth.
- Avoid fingerprints, abrasive cleaners and excessive handling.
- Do not place the prism directly against other glass components.
- Store it in padded, dry packaging to prevent chips and scratches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Optical Refraction Prism used for?
It is used to demonstrate refraction, angular deviation, ray tracing and, with an equilateral prism, dispersion of white light.
Which prism sizes are available?
The published Prism Glass range includes nominal 38 mm and 50 mm configurations.
Is the prism equilateral?
Equilateral options are published, along with 45°–45°–90° right-angle versions. The required geometry must be selected when ordering.
What is the prism made from?
The published material is transparent glass. The precise optical-glass grade and refractive index are not stated.
Can the prism produce a spectrum?
An equilateral glass prism can disperse suitable white light into constituent colours under an appropriate experimental arrangement.
Does the prism include a holder?
No holder is confirmed as included. Request an itemized packing list when a prism clamp, case or spectrometer accessory is required.
