A prism is an optical device that refracts light, causing it to change direction and separate into its constituent colors, creating a spectrum. This occurs because different wavelengths of light bend at different angles when passing through the prism's material. Prisms are commonly used in various applications, including spectroscopy, optical instruments, and educational demonstrations to illustrate the properties of light. Additionally, they can be used in optical devices like cameras and binoculars to invert or redirect images.

How can the associative property can be used to mentally find the volume of a prism?
In general, the associative property cannot be used for this purpose. The volume of a prism is the area of cross section multiplied by the length, and except in the case of a rectangular prism, there is no scope for using the associative property.

Can you use a sodium lamp for finding dispersive power of prism?
No, sodium lamps emit monochromatic light, which is not suitable for finding the dispersive power of a prism. To determine the dispersive power of a prism, you need light that contains multiple wavelengths. White light, such as from a sunlight or incandescent lamp, is typically used for this purpose.
Is a hexagonal prism a prism?
Yes, a hexagonal prism is a type of prism.
How are a triangular prism and a rectangular prism are they different?
