This is not a refractive prism. Rainbows are not created.

This is not a refractive prism. There are no rainbows here, as the packaging suggests. The packaging is deceptive. I am tempted to report this product to the sales department because of the misleading packaging. Let the buyer be alert.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Something different

Less refraction than distortion

It was cheap, but it's cheap! The prism looks like a piece of extruded plastic, not cut or polished. The pages are wavy. Refraction is more like light scattering. This is very disappointing for children. If I were you, I'd turn down that paperweight.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Nothing

Angle Prism: Novelty & Fun

DO NOT BUY! Very disappointed with this product which does not work as advertised, is made of very imperfect plastic and most importantly does not break light into any color spectrum. It is unusable and I sent them back with my notes to Revain who promptly refunded part of my payment, potentially saving the restocking fee. I just lost more money on shipping than I made by sending it back. I WOULD NOT BUY FROM AMAZON AGAIN given the annoyance generated. My rating for this item is ZERO.DK

Pros
  • Sturdy Construction
Cons
  • Almost Everything Fine

Poorly finished with wavy surfaces

A prism should only be one thing and that is a triangular transparent body. It's basically triangular, but the sides (long sides, not ends) aren't flat. Using this as a 90 degree mirror will make the image wavy and fuzzy. Technically it works like a prism, but the educational effect is somewhat lost. The advantage of using a prism as a substitute for a reflector is that the prism can function just as well as a reflector despite being completely transparent. But the upshot with this product isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Contact seller

NON iridescent prism

The item offered is a RECTANGULAR prism. Rectangular prisms do NOT produce a rainbow! They allow you to see around corners. Equilateral prisms break light and create a rainbow. The name (Refractive Prism), the picture and the product description ("Experience the amazing full spectrum of colors!โ€) are misleading because they say this prism creates a rainbow, but they are wrong. However, the product specifications ("Plastic Rectangular Prism") are correct. See the contradictions and either ignore

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • crumpled
