Is water a prism?
Water is not a prism. A prism is a transparent object that refracts, reflects, and disperses light, while water is a compound made up of molecules. Water can refract light but does not have the same properties as a prism.
How does the dimensions affect the area of a rectangular prism that is halved?
The dimensions are the length width and height of the prism. So if the prism is halfed then you would have to cut the dimensions in half depending on where the prism was cut.
What is the formula for calculating the surface area of a prism, specifically focusing on the angle of prism?
The formula for calculating the surface area of a prism is SA 2B Ph, where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter of the base, and h is the height of the prism. The angle of the prism does not directly affect the surface area calculation.
What material can a prism be made of?
glasses of water
Why doesn't a hollow Prism disperse light?
Infinitely thin walls will not affect the beams of light, if the prism walls are not infinitely thin then there will be dispersion but not much.
Suppose the prism contains 1200mL of water What is the depth of the water?
the answeri 20cm
How many corners does pyramid prism have?
There is not such a shape. Assuming we are speaking of a triangular prism with a jut in the bottom and at the top like a water bottle, there would be 8 vertices on the pyramid prism.
Why is the prism and water able to separate the color of white light?
When white light enters the prism, it is refracted at different angles based on its wavelength (color). This causes the different colors to separate because each color has a unique wavelength and is bent by the prism by different amounts. Water can also refract light, but it doesn't break it down into colors like a prism.
How do you measure volume of prisms?
Assuming the cross-section of the prism is such that its area is easily calculated, Volume of prism = Cross-sectional area * length If not, the most effective way is to submerge it in water and measure the volume of water displaced.
What is the name of a 6 edged prism?

Does the colour of incoming light affect the pattern of the prism?
Sure. The prism just spreads out the wavelengths that enter it. No color can come out of the prism that didn't go into the prism. When white light goes in, you see all colors come out, because white light is a mix of all colors. But if the light that entered the prism was a mix of only red and blue, then all you'd see come out would be a red stripe and a blue stripe, with no light in between them.
Is a hexagonal prism a prism?
Yes, a hexagonal prism is a type of prism.
