Prism Calcite/Quartz Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : ILS-LAO-10806
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Prism Calcite/Quartz (Product ID: 10806) as part of its light and optics range. It is a polished calcite or quartz prism for studying double refraction on a spectrometer.
Quick Answer
Calcite and quartz are doubly refracting (birefringent), so light entering the prism can split into an ordinary and an extraordinary ray with different refractive indices. Two cuts are described: optic axis parallel to the refracting edge, or optic axis parallel to the base when the prism is set at minimum deviation. On a spectrometer, students measure the minimum deviation of each ray to find the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices. Please confirm the material (calcite or quartz), optic-axis orientation and size at quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why calcite or quartz?
Both are doubly refracting, so there are two refractive indices to measure.
Why does the optic-axis orientation matter?
It decides whether the ordinary and extraordinary rays separate at minimum deviation.
Is the size stated?
No; please confirm size at quotation.
