Trichroic Prism

  • Опубликовано: 10 май 2017
  • A dichroic prism splits light into two beams of differing wavelength (colour). A trichroic prism assembly combines two dichroic prisms to split an image into 3 colours. They are usually constructed of one or more glass prisms with dichroic optical coatings that selectively reflect or transmit light depending on the light's wavelength. That is, certain surfaces within the prism act as dichroic filters. These are used as beam splitters in many optical instruments. (Wikipedia)

    • @glenm99
      @glenm99 7 лет назад +1

      For a single prism, it will show up in a narrow band, and only in the direction in which that colour is seen when you shine a white light (or in harmonics of that wavelength, which is important only if you're dealing with some light outside the visible spectrum). For multiple prisms like this, it's the same deal, except that the angle will be changed by each prism through which the light passes, plus you'll get a few extra bands, since the light which passes through one prism may scatter in a different direction from the next one.

    • @glenm99

The reflection will be a rainbow dancing to how the water ripples, water diffracts light too. Beautiful. Makes you wonder what is all around us that we cant see.
