Refraction in PrismsRefraction in Prisms
Two prisms base to base
If we apply the laws of refraction to two prisms, the rays bend toward the base, converging light.
Parallel rays, however, do not converge to a focus leaving images distorted and unclear.
Refraction in Prisms Refraction in Prisms (Cont.)(Cont.)
Two prisms apex to apex
Similarly, inverted prisms cause parallel light rays to bend toward the base (away from the center).Again there is no clear virtual focus, and once again, images are distorted and unclear.
