Prism
Prism (Product Code: SCL-401/098) is an equilateral triangular glass prism used to refract and disperse light in school and college optics experiments. All three angles are 60°, and the 50 mm glass lab prism sits comfortably on a drawing board for pin-and-ray tracing. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Glass Prism Used For?
The classic practical is the angle-of-deviation experiment. The prism is placed on paper pinned to a drawing board, pins mark the incident and emergent rays, and students measure the deviation for several angles of incidence. Plotting the results gives the angle of minimum deviation, from which the refractive index of the glass is calculated using the 60° prism angle.
In a darkened room, a narrow beam of white light passing through the prism spreads into a spectrum, showing dispersion, a staple demonstration among physics practical equipment in CBSE and state-board labs. Draw the outline of the prism before tracing rays so it can be returned to the same spot, and hold it by the triangular ends to keep the refracting faces free of fingerprints.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM for this 60° glass prism. It is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers. Class sets and top-up orders are therefore quoted by the maker itself. Visit the ScienceLab company profile for more about the company.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the angles of this Prism?
This Prism (SCL-401/098) is an equilateral glass prism with all three angles at 60°. The known 60° prism angle is what students use, together with the measured angle of minimum deviation, to calculate the refractive index of the glass.
What size is the Prism?
The Prism is listed at a size of 50 mm. If your lab needs a particular face length or height, for example to suit a spectrometer table, confirm the dimensions through the ScienceLab contact page before ordering.
Which experiments can be done with the glass Prism?
The glass Prism is used for the angle-of-deviation and minimum-deviation experiment, refractive-index calculation and the dispersion of white light into a spectrum. It suits school and college optics practicals in which students trace rays with pins on a drawing board.
How should the Prism be handled and cleaned?
Hold the Prism by its triangular end faces so the refracting faces stay clean. Wipe it with a soft lint-free cloth, avoid knocking it against hard benches where the corners can chip, and store it in a padded box between practical sessions.
Who manufactures this Prism?
This Prism is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools and dealers ordering class sets deal directly with the manufacturer for quotations and repeat supply.
Can the Prism be supplied in class-set quantities?
Yes, the Prism can be quoted in class-set or bulk quantities for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Tell us how many prisms you need and the delivery location, and the manufacturer will send a quotation.
