  2. Prism lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_lighting

    Deck prisms carried light through the upper decks of ships and spread it in the decks below. Similarly, on land, prisms in sidewalk lights were used to light basements and vaults. Prism tiles were used vertically, usually as a transom light above a window or door. [6] They were also built into fixed and movable canopies, sloped glazing, and ...

    Glass is a wholly recyclable material. [2] Glass is beloved by architects as well as designers. Glass can play a role in accomplishing greater indoor environmental quality and when used carefully can improve energy efficiency, however a measured approach needs to be taken to ensure the building loads are not excessively increased due to solar gain.

    A deck prism, or bullseye, is a prism inserted into the deck of a ship to provide light down below. [1] [2] [3] For centuries, sailing ships used deck prisms to provide a safe source of natural sunlight to illuminate areas below decks. Before electricity, light below a vessel's deck was provided by candles, oil and kerosene lamps—all dangerous

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

    In a prism, the angle of deviation (δ) decreases with increase in the angle of incidence (i) up to a particular angle.This angle of incidence where the angle of deviation in a prism is minimum is called the minimum deviation position of the prism and that very deviation angle is known as the minimum angle of deviation (denoted by δ min, D λ, or D m).
