Product Code : SCL-LAO-11278
The Educational Spectroscopy Prism is a transparent glass optical component used for demonstrating refraction, angular deviation and the dispersion of white light into visible colours. It is intended for physics students, teachers, school laboratories, colleges and STEM classrooms conducting supervised prism, spectrum and introductory spectroscopy experiments.
Product Description
The Educational Spectroscopy Prism changes the direction of light as the beam enters and leaves its polished refracting surfaces. Because different wavelengths are refracted by different amounts, a suitable white-light source can produce a visible spectrum under controlled laboratory conditions.
Lab Equipments Ambala publishes transparent glass prisms in equilateral and right-angle configurations. The listed equilateral prism sizes are 38 mm and 50 mm in routine and superior quality. The exact refractive index, glass composition, surface accuracy, dimensional tolerance and spectrometer-grade suitability must be confirmed before ordering.
Key Features
- Visible light dispersion: Demonstrates how white light separates into component colours.
- Transparent glass construction: Allows light to pass through polished refracting surfaces.
- Two published sizes: Available in nominal 38 mm and 50 mm configurations.
- Multiple quality options: Equilateral versions are listed in routine and superior quality.
- Hands-on optics learning: Supports practical study of refraction, deviation and spectrum formation.
- Reusable laboratory component: Suitable for repeated teacher demonstrations and student experiments.
- No power requirement: Operates with a separate suitable light source or spectrometer arrangement.

Related apparatus includes the educational Spectroscope, the Ray Optics Kit, the complete Prism Glass product range and broader Physics Laboratory Equipment.
How to Use the Educational Spectroscopy Prism
- Place the prism on a stable optical surface or compatible prism table.
- Direct a narrow beam of white light toward one polished refracting face.
- Rotate the prism slowly until the emergent light becomes visible.
- Position a white screen in the emerging beam path.
- Adjust the prism, source and screen until the separated colours appear clearly.
- For measured work, record the incident, prism and deviation angles using suitable apparatus.
Safety note: Do not use the prism to direct sunlight or an intense beam toward the eyes. Handle it by its non-optical edges and protect polished faces from impact and fingerprints.
Care & Maintenance
- Remove dust with a blower or clean optical-grade cloth.
- Avoid touching polished optical faces directly.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or rough paper.
- Store the prism in padded, dry packaging away from other glass components.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Educational Spectroscopy Prism used for?
It is used to demonstrate refraction, angular deviation and the separation of white light into visible spectral colours.
What sizes are available?
The published glass-prism options include nominal 38 mm and 50 mm sizes.
Is the prism made from optical glass?
The product page confirms glass construction but does not identify the glass grade. Confirm the optical material before spectrometer-based measurements.
Can it be used with a spectrometer?
Potentially, but the prism geometry, dimensions, refractive index and optical quality must match the spectrometer and experiment requirements.
Does the prism produce a rainbow?
A suitable triangular prism can separate white light into a visible spectrum when the source, prism angle and viewing screen are correctly arranged.
Is a prism holder included?
No holder has been confirmed as included. Request an itemised quotation when a prism table, holder, screen or light source is required.
Request the confirmed glass grade, prism geometry and optical-quality documentation, or explore the glass prism range for available sizes and configurations.
