Prisme

So that according to the above mentioned _Cartesian_ principles there should be generated no colour at all in a Ball of Water or Glass by two refractions and one reflection, which does hold most true indeed, if the surfaces be plain, as may be experimented with any kind of prisme where the two refracting surfaces are equally inclin'd to the reflecting; but in this the _Phænomena_ are quite otherwise. ❋ Robert Hooke (1669)

L'auteur raporte '10' de ces expédiens, et trouve dans chacun d'eux quelque chose d'incommode, mais enfin il en raporte un autre, qui est exempt de toutes ces incommoditéz, et qui, par le moien d'un prisme, au travers duquel il faut regarder les images peints sur le papier, les montre dans leur situation droite, et augmente même la vivacité de leurs couleurs. ❋ Various (1852)

One official told Reuters the 651 prisoners who appear to have been released include 308 'prisoners of conscience' and 148 former intelligence officers, including the former prisme minister and head of military intelligence General Khin Nyunt, who was released from house arrest. ❋ Dean Nelson (2012)

_Phænomena_ of the _prisme_, and of the _Globules_ or drops of Water which conduce to the production of the Rainbow. ❋ Robert Hooke (1669)

Having therefore shewn that there is such a propriety in the _prisme_ and water _Globule_ whereby the pulse is made _oblique_ to the progressive, and that so much the more, by how much greater the refraction is, I shall in the next place consider, how this conduces to the production of colours, and what kind of impression it makes upon the bottom of the eye; and to this end it will be requisite to examine this _Hypothesis_ a little more particularly. ❋ Robert Hooke (1669)

(refractione scilicet) ad minimum requiri, & quidem talem ut ejus effectus aliâ contrariâ (refractione) non destruatur: Nam experientia docet si superficies _NM_ & _NP_ (nempe refringentes) Parallelæ forent, radios tantundem per alteram iterum erectos quantum per unam frangerentur, nullos colores depicturos_; This Principle of his holds true indeed in a prisme where the refracting surfaces are plain, but is contradicted by the Ball or ❋ Robert Hooke (1669)
