a diamond prism is called a dimontialitily prism
it is called that becauyse it came from a long time ago where a diamond was found and it looked like a prism so they called it dimontialitily. sometimes it is called davagina too
The diamond acts as a prism breaking the light into different wavelengths.
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
That would be a lens or a prism.
Refraction. As when you deflect it with a prism, you refract the light.
Dispersion
a dimond!actually, i think that it is an octahedron, which looks like 2 pyramids stuck together by their bases.
It could be called a pentahedral prism.
Hexagonal Prism
It is called an octagonal prism
heptagonal prism
The diamond acts as a prism breaking the light into different wavelengths.
pentagonal prism
pentagonal prism
A pyramid with 18 edges would be called a nonagonal pyramid. A prism with 18 edges is called a hexagonal prism.
volume=area of the cross section x the length
More like two tetrahedrons stuck together.
Once cut and polished, a diamond is designed to reflect light like a prism from every facet in the stone.
