Equilateral Acrylic Prism
Product Code : JA-LOE-7951
The Equilateral Acrylic Prism (SKU JA-LOE-7951) is a clear, polished acrylic prism whose triangular faces are equilateral, so each refracting angle is 60°, the form most often used for deviation and dispersion experiments. Students use this equilateral acrylic prism for minimum deviation work with optical pins or a ray box, and to split white light into a spectrum. JaincoLab manufactures it in India for school and college optics laboratories.
Specifications
The prism is clear, polished acrylic with an equilateral triangular cross-section, giving 60° refracting angles; its size is confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the equilateral acrylic prism for minimum deviation
Because its refracting angle is a known 60°, the equilateral prism is used to plot the angle of deviation against the angle of incidence, find the angle of minimum deviation and calculate the refractive index of acrylic.
- Plotting the i-d curve and finding the angle of minimum deviation
- Calculating refractive index from the prism angle and minimum deviation
- Dispersing white light into a spectrum with a ray box
- Comparing deviation in acrylic and glass prisms
