• Diffraction gratingCompared with: A prism disperses light by refractive index rather than periodic diffraction.

• MirrorCompared with: Prisms redirect or disperse light without relying on a reflective coating.

• LensCompared with: Prisms redirect or separate light, but typically do not form images by lens-like curvature.

• Optical filterCompared with: A prism spatially disperses colors instead of selectively transmitting a fixed band.
