Prism refracting white light C018 / 8603
A glass prism demonstrating internal refractions of white light into the colour spectrum. This splitting of light into the spectrum is a result of the different amounts of refraction of the different wavelengths of light present. Furthermore each colour is specific to the angle that the prisms faces present to the light

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Prism refracting white light" by DAVID PARKER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a glass prism manipulating white light into a vibrant spectrum of colors. Against a sleek black background, this triangular prism effortlessly demonstrates the phenomenon of internal refractions. As beams of white light pass through the prism's surface, they are bent and separated into their individual wavelengths, revealing an enchanting rainbow-like display. Each color within this spectrum corresponds to a specific angle at which the prisms faces present themselves to the incoming light. The image perfectly captures the elegance and precision of optics in action. The sharp edges and smooth surfaces of the glass prism create crisp reflections that add depth to its already striking appearance. From deep violet to rich red, every hue is distinct and vividly showcased against the contrasting darkness. This photograph not only serves as an aesthetic marvel but also highlights fundamental principles in physics and optics. It beautifully illustrates how different wavelengths undergo varying amounts of refraction when passing through materials like glass, resulting in stunning displays such as this one. With its blend of artistry and scientific significance, this print is sure to captivate viewers with its intricate details and colorful allure.
