PRISM

n.[Low L. prisma; Gr. to cut with a saw, to press or strain. ] A solid whose bases or ends are any similar, equal and parallel plane figures, and whose sides are parallelograms. A prism of glass is one bounded by two equal and parallel triangular ends and three plain and well polished sides which meet in three parallel lines, running from the three angles of one end to the three angles of the other end.

 

PRISMATIC, PRISMATICAL

a.Resembling a prism; as a prismatic form. 1. Separated or distributed by a prism; formed by a prism; as prismatic colors.
2. Pertaining to a prism.

Webster's 1913 Dictionary

PRISM

Prism, n. Etym: [L. prisma, Gr. prisme. ]

 

1. (Geom.)

 

Defn: A solid whose bases or ends are any similar, equal, and parallel plane figures, and whose sides are parallelograms.

 

Note: Prisms of different forms are often named from the figure of their bases; as, a triangular prism, a quadrangular prism, a rhombic prism, etc.

 

2. (Opt. )

 

Defn: A transparent body, with usually three rectangular plane faces or sides, and two equal and parallel triangular ends or bases; -- used in experiments on refraction, dispersion, etc.

 

3. (Crystallog.)

 

Defn: A form the planes of which are parallel to the vertical axis. See Form, n., 13. Achromatic prism (Opt. ), a prism composed usually of two prisms of different transparent substances which have unequal dispersive powers, as two different kinds of glass, especially flint glass and crown glass, the difference of dispersive power being compensated by giving them different refracting angles, so that, when placed together so as to have opposite relative positions, a ray of light passed through them is refracted or bent into a new position, but is free from color. -- Nicol's prism, Nicol prism. Etym: [So called from Wm. Nicol, of Edinburgh, who first proposed it. ] (Opt. ) An instrument for experiments in polarization, consisting of a rhomb of Iceland spar, which has been bisected obliquely at a certain angle, and the two parts again joined with transparent cement, so that the ordinary image produced by double refraction is thrown out of the field by total reflection from the internal cemented surface, and the extraordinary, or polarized, image alone is transmitted.

 

PRISMATIC; PRISMATICAL

Pris *mat "ic, Pris *mat "ic *al, a. Etym: [Cf. F. prismatique.]

 

1. Resembling, or pertaining to, a prism; as, a prismatic form or cleavage.

 

2. Separated or distributed by a prism; formed by a prism; as, prismatic colors.

 

3. (Crystallog.)

 

Defn: Same as Orthorhombic. Prismatic borax (Chem. ), borax crystallized in the form of oblique prisms, with ten molecules of water; -- distinguished from octahedral borax. -- Prismatic colors (Opt. ), the seven colors into which light is resolved when passed through a prism; primary colors. See Primary colors, under Color. -- Prismatic compass (Surv.), a compass having a prism for viewing a distant object and the compass card at the same time. -- Prismatic spectrum (Opt. ), the spectrum produced by the passage of light through a prism.

 

PRISMATICALLY

PRISMATICALLY Pris *mat "ic *al *ly, adv.

 

Defn: In the form on manner of a prism; by means of a prism.

 

PRISMATOIDAL

Pris `ma *toid "al, a. Etym: [Gr. -oid: F. prismatoïde.]

 

Defn: Having a prismlike form. Ure.

 

PRISM GLASS

PRISM GLASS Prism glass.

 

Defn: Glass with one side smooth and the other side formed into sharp-edged ridges so as to reflect the light that passes through, used at windows to throw the light into the interior.

 

PRISMOID

Pris "moid, n. Etym: [Cf. F. prismtoïde.]

 

Defn: A body that approaches to the form of a prism.

 

PRISMOIDAL

PRISMOIDAL Pris *moid "al, a.

 

Defn: Having the form of a prismoid; as, prismoidal solids.

 

PRISMY

PRISMY Pris "my, a.

 

Defn: Pertaining to a prism. [R.]
