Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism
Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism (Product Code: SLE/PHY/248) is a hollow perspex prism used to show the refraction and deviation of microwaves in school and college physics experiments. Filled with paraffin it bends a microwave beam, and filled with water the same piece of physics lab equipment serves for optics experiments with light. It stands about 21 cm high with a longest side of roughly 30 cm and is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Microwave Hollow Prism Used For?
With the prism filled with paraffin and placed in the beam of a microwave transmitter, students move the receiver around the prism to find the direction in which the signal emerges, then measure the angle of deviation. Repeating the test with the prism empty suggests that the filling, not the thin perspex walls, does most of the bending, which shows clearly that microwaves refract in the same way as light.
Drained, rinsed and refilled with water, the prism becomes a large liquid prism for light-ray work with a ray box, so students can compare refraction in water with refraction in a solid prism from a standard optics lab equipment set. Keep perspex away from solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can craze or scratch it, and wipe it dry with a soft cloth after each use.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of prisms required.
- Whether paraffin for the microwave experiments should be quoted, as the listing does not say it is included.
- Whether a microwave transmitter/receiver and rotating protractor are also needed.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism and makes it at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Laboratories, dealers and importers therefore order it straight from the producer instead of through a trader, with the quotation prepared by the manufacturer. For replacement prisms or additions to an existing microwave kit, ask us; background on the company is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism made of?
The Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism is made of perspex sheets formed into a hollow prism. Because it is hollow, it is filled with paraffin for microwave experiments or with water for optics work, and the liquid inside does the refracting.
What size is the Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism?
The Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism is approximately 21 cm high, and its longest side measures about 30 cm. The large size suits microwave beams, which need bigger components than visible light, and makes the prism easy to see across a classroom.
Can the Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism be used with light?
Yes. Filled with water, the Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism can be used for optics experiments, letting students trace light rays through a liquid prism and compare the deviation with that produced by a solid glass or acrylic prism.
Who manufactures the Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism?
The Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and dealers receive it factory-direct, with a quotation from the manufacturer.
How should the Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism be cleaned?
Drain the Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism after each practical, rinse it if water was used, and wipe the perspex with a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can scratch or craze perspex and spoil the clear faces.
What is needed for the microwave refraction experiment with the Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism?
The microwave refraction experiment with the Microwave Accessories Hollow Prism needs a microwave transmitter and receiver, paraffin for filling and ideally a rotating protractor to measure deviation. ScienceLab lists these accessories and can quote them with the prism.
