Single right angled prism measuring 2.9" (74mm) long, with a hypotenuse measuring 2" (50mm). Features highly polished faces and 90 x 45 x 45 degree angles. Made of durable, polished acrylic material. Excellent for physics classrooms. Ideal for redirecting beams of light at a 90 degree angle, as a retro-reflector, as well as for a variety of other experiments in optics, light refraction, spectrometry and wavelengths. Great for photography lighting and distortion effects.

This prism arrived promptly after ordering in perfect condtion. It is flawless, unscratched crystal-clear acrylic precisely made.

This prism does not work well for reflecting light 90 degrees. Some of the light going in on 2" face will be reflected and come out the other 2" face but most just continue straight on. Not necessarily a problem for every application but an issue for how I wanted to use it.

I bought this to use for some abstract photography. I'd been using glass optics which have been great, but this acrylic prism is very lackluster by comparison. It arrived a little scuffed/dirty and cleaning it didn't help. The edges on the long side aren't perfectly straight.Still, it's not bad for the price. It's larger than most at its price point. For the most part, the scuffs don't show on the projected image if there's enough light. And in the end, it's a neat little object.If you're using this for educational purposes or just for fun, this isn't bad. Just know the quality is inferior to glass alternatives.

I use prisms on my window sill to project rainbows on the wall.The glass prisms occasionally fall and break shedding pieces of glass.I wanted to try plastic, so I bought this right angle prism.I discovered right angle prisms are not good for making rainbows.The rainbow prisms are equilateral.The equilateral rainbow prisms are difficult to mount because they can't be flat side down. They have to be point down.

Disappointing in that I was looking to create a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon effect. It does create a spectrum but not the way the album cover looks. In fact it's an EQUILATERAL triangle that creates that look, not a right angle prism. Again, it DOES create a spectrum but not in the angles depicted in the album artwork. My mistake.So, if you know what you're looking for and the right angle prism is it, this is fine. If you're thinking you're going to recreate Pink Floyd, you're going to be disappointed unless you choose the right prism and this isn't it.

I tried the equilateral prisms but with those you need to have them at an awkward angle to achieve the rainbow effect. With a right angle prism you just need to point the right angle towards sunlight to display a rainbow.
