A mirror is something you look in to see a reflection.
In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. The exact angles between the surfaces depend on the application. The traditional geometrical shape is that of a triangular prism with a triangular base and rectangular sides, and in colloquial use "prism" usually refers to this type. Some types of optical prism are not in fact in the shape of geometric prisms. Prisms are typically made out of glass, but can be made from any material that is transparent to the wavelengths for which they are designed.

Definition of triangular prism?
it`s a prism where it`s bases are a triangle
How many syllables are there in the word prism?

How do you put the word prism in a sentence?

How do you spell prism?
That is the correct spelling of the word "prism" (an angular solid, or a crystal that scatters light).
What are the parts of the periscope?
The periscope has several parts: the ocular lenses, the mirror or prism, inversion/reversion prisms, relay lenses, another mirror or prism, and objective lenses.
What is a periscope mirror called?
A periscope mirror is referred to as a "prism" or a "reflecting prism." It is the component used within a periscope to reflect light at a 90-degree angle, allowing for the viewing of objects that are not in direct line of sight.
Which surface of the mirror is usually used to reflect light?
I would have to say the prism
Why are mirror images perfect?
No ! The images formed by a mirror are not perfect !!The finest images are those formed by a right angled PRISM . However the rays from the object need to fall perpendicularly on prism's surface . Thus for convenience mirrors are used .
What has the author Melanie Barfels written?
Melanie Barfels has written: 'Chromophore imaging with an optimized prism-mirror-prism energy filter designed for an electron microscope'
How many different nets are there for triangular prism?
Three if mirror images are considered different and two otherwise.
How many planes of symmetry does a pentagonal prism have?
A pentagonal prism has 5 planes of symmetry. This is because it can be divided into 5 identical sections by planes passing through the center of the prism and perpendicular to its bases. Each of these planes divides the prism into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other.
Does a prism a mirror or a convex lens bend inward or converges?
A convex lens bends inward. Hope this helps:)
Would a mirror periscope be better than a prism periscope?
It depends on the specific requirements of the periscope. A mirror periscope may be more cost-effective and simple to construct, but a prism periscope can offer a wider field of view and better image quality due to reduced light loss. Choose based on the specific needs of the application.
What is an example of an everyday object that does works due to refracted light?
MIRROR
What does the prism in the periscope do compared to the mirror usually used?
Mirrors have distortion in the images they project while prisms create undistorted images. :D
