Equilateral Prism
These are used as dispersing prism. The incident beam has various wavelength as it's components, each wavelength suffers different level of deviation, thus dispersing the output beam into various components.
The prism are usually made of high index glasses to offer larger bending and separation.
Application Notes
- It has three equal 60° angles.
- It is used as dispersing element in instruments and experiments, which requires wavelength separation.
