What are the applications of optical prisms?

An optical prism is a transparent object formed by two intersecting but non-parallel planes, primarily used for splitting light or causing light beams to disperse. So, what are the applications of prisms?

I. Optical Instruments

Spectroscopic Instruments: In spectroscopic instruments, optical prisms (particularly dispersing prisms, such as equilateral prisms) are used to decompose composite light into a spectrum. This is based on the property that an optical prism has different refractive indices for light of different wavelengths, causing light of different wavelengths to disperse at different angles after passing through the prism, thereby forming a spectrum. This technology is widely used in scientific research and industrial production, such as in materials analysis and environmental monitoring.
