Right angled isoceles prism:
These prism turn the light by 90°or 180°. They are based on the phenomenon of total internal reflection of light. The refractive index for glass is 1.5, therefore the critical angle for glass - air interface is 42° (as refractive index = 1/sin ic). When the angle of incidence is > 42°, for example, 45° the total internal reflection takes place.
Uses: to invert the image without changing the size(TIR).
