prism

'n Prisma is 'n deursigtige voorwerp, tipies gemaak van glas of plastiek, wat twee parallelle en teenoorgestelde vlakke het wat veelhoeke van dieselfde vorm en grootte is. Die ander vlakke is tipies parallelogramme, wat lig breek terwyl dit deur die prisma beweeg, wat veroorsaak dat die lig in sy samestellende kleure skei en 'n spektrum produseer. In figuurlike taal kan 'n prisma verwys na iets wat verskillende perspektiewe of standpunte weerspieël of breek.
