What is glass prism?
A glass prism is a prism which is made of glass.A prism is a transparent optical element with flat,polished surfaces that refract light.
What is the instrument used to break white light into a rainbow?
I believe that you are talking about a prism, and the process where the light is broken up in to its constituent parts is called dispersion
How many times is white light refracted when passed through a prism?
Two times. One when the light beam crosses the air-prism interface and enters the prism and a second time when the beam crosses the prism-air interface on its way out of the prism.
How does a prism work and what it does?
What exactly does a "prism" do? How does it work?well it turns out that a prism has light that reflects and on the other side out comes colors of the rainbow
What happens in a periscope?
The top of the periscope has a prism that reflects the light to the observers prism. The object the top prism is pointed at is seen at the bottom one.
Does a triangular prism have an apex?
No.
Can any face of a regular prism be considered a base?
false -apex
Which of the following is not a polyhedron?
(if the question is: which of the following are polyhedrons?) your answer is: pyramid and prism ( apex )
What is the top of a triangle-based prism?
The apex, and the shape of the base does not make a difference to what it is called.
Why is a cone not a prism?
A cone has a curved surface and only has one base (the bottom). A prism however, has two bases (the top and bottom) and has only polygonal faces. A cone also has an apex which a prism doesn't.
How are a rectangular prism and a pyramid different?
A pyramid is not a prism because it only has one base and a rectangular prism has 2 bases.Among other things, a rectangular prism has 6 faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges.A rectangular pyramid has 5 faces, 5 vertices and 8 edges.Rectangular prisms can be described as a "box". They do not have an apex (the vertice where all the edges meet. On the contrary, a pyramid does have an apex. It is located on the top of the pyramid.
What is the difference between a square pyramid and a square prism?
A prism is defined as a solid (or three dimensional) geometrical shape in which the sides are parallel, whereas in a pyramid the sides are not parallel and they all come together in an apex.
What is the surface area of a right prism with base lengths 5 and 12. and height of 14?
480 units squared -Apex
Newton discovered that the colors formed by a prism can be recombined to create light?
He discovers what is known as the rainbow, by using a prism to show that light is made up of all of those colors.
How are octagonal prisms different from a cone?
An octagonal prism has an octagonal base and 8 triangular faces rising to an apex. A cone, on the other hand, has a circular base and one curved surface rising to an apex.
How are hexagonal prism and hexagonal pyramid different?
A hexagonal prism has hexagons at each end whereas a hexagonal pyramid has a hexagonal base and an apex. The numbers of faces, shapes of the faces, numbers of edges and vertices are all different.
An oblique rectangle prism and a triangle prism are both 8 centimeters tall and have the same volume . What statement must be true about the two solids?
the horizontal cross-sections of the prisms at the same height must have the same area. (APEX)
