The hexagonal prismatic honeycomb or hexagonal prismatic cellulation is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space made up of hexagonal prisms.. It is constructed from a hexagonal tiling extruded into prisms.
In chemistry, the capped trigonal prismatic molecular geometry describes the shape of compounds where seven atoms or groups of atoms or ligands are arranged around a central atom defining the vertices of an augmented triangular prism.
In geometry, the elongated square gyrobicupola is a polyhedron constructed by two square cupolas attaching onto the bases of octagonal prism, with one of them rotated.It was once mistakenly considered a rhombicuboctahedron by many mathematicians.
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.
Beyond the triangular bipyramid as its dual polyhedron, many other polyhedrons are related to the triangular prism. A Johnson solid is a convex polyhedron with regular faces, and this definition is sometimes omitted uniform polyhedrons such as Archimedean solids, Catalan solids, prisms and antiprisms. [12]
A Wollaston prism. A Wollaston prism is an optical device, invented by William Hyde Wollaston, that manipulates polarized light.It separates light into two separate linearly polarized outgoing beams with orthogonal polarization. [1]
A tidal prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, [1] or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide. [2]The inter-tidal prism volume can be expressed by the relationship: P=H A, where H is the average tidal range and A is the average surface area of the basin. [3]
