Description
English: A diagram showing the path of the central color of light passing thorugh a direct-vision prism. Crown glass is shown in blue, flint in yellow. As this kind of prism is dispersive, other colours will not emerge normal to the end surface. A graphic ray tracing method is shown. Three arcs are drawn with radii proportional to the refractive indices of the medium, crown and flint, and a line perpendicular to AC through P.
