Glass Prism- Right Angle 38X38MM

A right-angle glass prism measuring 38×38 mm is a versatile optical tool made from high-quality glass with polished surfaces. Its educational functions include demonstrating principles of reflection, refraction, total internal reflection, geometry, and optical path length. Scientifically, it is used in beam steering, laser applications, spectroscopy, interferometry, and optical instruments. Generally, right-angle prisms are valued in photography, art, decoration, visual displays, teaching aids, and crafts for their ability to manipulate and redirect light. This combination of educational, scientific, and general uses makes the right-angle glass prism an essential tool in various fields.

Specific Description

Material: The prism is made of high-quality optical glass, which is typically clear and free of impurities to ensure accurate light manipulation.

Dimensions: The prism has a right-angled triangular cross-section. The two legs of the right triangle each measure 38 mm, and the hypotenuse connects these two points.

Shape: The prism has a right-angle triangular shape, where one angle is 90 degrees, and the other two angles are 45 degrees each. This specific shape allows it to reflect and refract light in predictable ways.

Surface Finish: The surfaces of the prism are polished to a high degree to ensure smoothness, which maximizes clarity and minimizes light scattering.

Weight: The weight varies based on the type of glass used, but it is generally lightweight and easy to handle for various applications.
