    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

  3. Crown glass (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_glass_(optics)

    The B in BK7 indicates that it is a borosilicate glass composition. BAK-4 barium crown glass (glass code 569560) has a higher index of refraction than BK7, and is used for prisms in high-end binoculars. In that application, it gives better image quality and a round exit pupil. An achromatic doublet, which combines crown glass and flint glass.

    Prism lighting is the use of prisms to improve the distribution of light in a space. It is usually used to distribute daylight, and is a form of anidolic lighting. Prism lighting was popular from its introduction in the 1890s through to the 1930s, when cheap electric lights became commonplace and prism lighting became unfashionable.

  6. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

    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).

    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.
