The amount a ray is bent depends on the apex angle of the prism, the angle of incidence of the light, and the refractive index of the prism material. When a ray strikes the entrance face of the prism, it is refracted toward the normal.

Magical
The reflection of the ripples creates a truly magical moment🔅

Lenses bend light through refraction, causing it to converge or diverge, depending on the lens shape. Convex lenses converge light, focusing it to a point, while concave lenses diverge light. Prisms, on the other hand, use refraction and internal reflection to separate light into its component colors, dispersing it as a spectrum. The angles and shapes of lenses and prisms determine how they manipulate light, enabling applications in optics and imaging.
