    A typical surveying prism with back target. In surveying, a retroreflector—usually referred to as a prism —is normally attached on a surveying pole and is used as a target for distance measurement, for example, a total station.

    One common example is the rainbow, when light from the Sun is reflected and refracted by water droplets. Some phenomena, such as the green ray, are so rare they are sometimes thought to be mythical. [2] Others, such as Fata Morganas, are commonplace in favored locations. Other phenomena are simply interesting aspects of optics, or optical effects.
