The 17 pages that link to Prism, each with the reason it gives.

• Visible spectrumRelated: Dispersion through a prism turns mixed visible light into a spectrum.

• Total internal reflectionRelated: Prism interfaces can use total internal reflection to turn light with little loss.

• Fraunhofer linesRelated: Fraunhofer used prisms to disperse sunlight and inspect its dark lines.

• DispersionRelated: A prism’s refractive index varies with wavelength, spreading white light into colors.

• MonochromatorRelated: Prisms can disperse a source so the monochromator selects one spectral region.

• SpectroscopeRelated: A prism can disperse light into colors instead of a diffraction grating.

• SpectrometerRelated: Prism spectrometers separate wavelengths through dispersion rather than diffraction.

• Optical spectrometerRelated: Prisms provide a refractive alternative for separating wavelengths.

• Johann Wilhelm RitterRelated: Ritter used a prism to position colors and test regions beyond violet.
