  2. Triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_prism

    Triangular bipyramid. In geometry, a triangular prism or trigonal prism [1] is a prism with 2 triangular bases. If the edges pair with each triangle's vertex and if they are perpendicular to the base, it is a right triangular prism. A right triangular prism may be both semiregular and uniform . The triangular prism can be used in constructing ...

  3. Isosceles triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosceles_triangle

    Dual polygon. Self-dual. In geometry, an isosceles triangle ( / aɪˈsɒsəliːz /) is a triangle that has two sides of equal length. Sometimes it is specified as having exactly two sides of equal length, and sometimes as having at least two sides of equal length, the latter version thus including the equilateral triangle as a special case .

  4. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    Prism (geometry) In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygon base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces, necessarily all parallelograms, joining corresponding sides of the two bases. All cross-sections parallel to the bases are translations of the bases.

  5. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    v. t. e. Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. [1] Visible light spans the visible spectrum and is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometres (nm), corresponding to frequencies of 750–420 terahertz. The visible band sits adjacent to the ...

  6. Social psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_psychology

    Social psychology is the scientific study of how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. Social psychologists typically explain human behavior as a result of the relationship between mental states and social situations, studying the social conditions under which thoughts, feelings, and behaviors occur, and how these variables ...

  7. Heptagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptagon

    In geometry, a heptagon or septagon is a seven-sided polygon or 7-gon. The heptagon is sometimes referred to as the septagon, using "sept-" (an elision of septua-, a Latin -derived numerical prefix, rather than hepta-, a Greek -derived numerical prefix; both are cognate) together with the Greek suffix "-agon" meaning angle.

  8. Hexagonal tiling honeycomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_tiling_honeycomb

    It is paracompact because it has cells composed of an infinite number of faces. Each cell is a hexagonal tiling whose vertices lie on a horosphere, a surface in hyperbolic space that approaches a single ideal point at infinity. The Schläfli symbol of the hexagonal tiling honeycomb is {6,3,3}.

  9. Triaugmented triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triaugmented_triangular_prism

    The triaugmented triangular prism, in geometry, is a convex polyhedron with 14 equilateral triangles as its faces. It can be constructed from a triangular prism by attaching equilateral square pyramids to each of its three square faces. The same shape is also called the tetrakis triangular prism, [1] tricapped trigonal prism, [2 ...
