Prism Column

Play value

The vertical prism refracts incident light visibly around the corner. You can see this by the fact that when you look trough it you don’t see what is in front of you but rather people or objects which are in another place. At the same time the white light is also split into the colours of the rainbow and these do not all travel around the corner at the same angle, creating the effect that the people and objects have a coloured ring around them. As you walk around the vertical prism, the colours change and green and purple also appear. The prism column is a welcome addition to our prism family because here several people can observe the phenomenon from various angles and also perhaps observe each other at the same time.
