Prism – Acrylic, Set of 7
Prism – Acrylic, Set of 7 (Product Code: SLE/PHY/274) is a set of seven polished acrylic optical blocks used to study reflection, refraction and total internal reflection with a ray box in school and college optics lessons. Every block is 25 mm thick with all faces fully polished, and the shapes cover bi-convex, bi-concave, rectangular, semi-circular and three triangular prisms. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Acrylic Prism Set Used For?
Laid flat on paper in the path of a ray box beam, each block demonstrates a different part of the optics syllabus. The rectangular block shows lateral displacement and lets students work out refractive index from the angles of incidence and refraction; the semi-circular block is the standard shape for finding the critical angle and showing total internal reflection; and the bi-convex and bi-concave blocks make parallel rays converge or diverge like thin lenses drawn in two dimensions.
The 60° triangle disperses white light into a spectrum, while the two right-angled triangles show how a prism can turn a ray through a right angle or send it back the way it came by total internal reflection, the principle behind periscopes and binoculars. As a compact optics experiment kit for school benches, the set rewards careful handling: store the blocks so they do not rub together, and clean them with a soft cloth rather than solvents, which can craze acrylic.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of sets, usually one per student group for ray-optics practicals.
- Ray boxes and slit plates to be quoted with the blocks.
- Whether glass prisms or a glass rectangular block are also needed for comparison.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this acrylic prism set and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buying from the manufacturer means schools, colleges, dealers and importers receive the complete seven-block set straight from the source rather than through a trader. Replacement blocks or additional sets for new laboratories can be requested from us directly. Our company profile has more about the business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which shapes are in the Prism – Acrylic, Set of 7?
The Prism – Acrylic, Set of 7 contains a bi-convex block, a bi-concave block, a 75 x 50 mm rectangle, a 75 mm semi-circular block and three triangles: 60-60-60° with a 58 mm side, and 90-45-45° and 90-60-30° with 75 mm hypotenuses.
How thick are the blocks in the acrylic prism set?
Every block in the Prism – Acrylic, Set of 7 is 25 mm thick, and all faces are fully polished. That thickness gives a block that stands steadily on paper and a face tall enough to trace a ray box beam clearly.
What is the radius of the curved blocks in the set?
In the Prism – Acrylic, Set of 7, the bi-convex and bi-concave blocks both have 75 mm long curved faces with a 100 mm radius, so students can compare converging and diverging ray paths through matching curvatures.
Is acrylic suitable for refraction experiments?
Yes. For school ray-optics work, the Prism – Acrylic, Set of 7 shows refraction, total internal reflection and dispersion clearly, and acrylic is lighter and less likely to shatter than glass if a block is dropped. Glass prisms are listed separately if you prefer glass.
Who manufactures the Prism – Acrylic, Set of 7?
The Prism – Acrylic, Set of 7 is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Can the acrylic prism set be ordered for a whole class?
Yes. The Prism – Acrylic, Set of 7 can be quoted in class quantities, usually one set per student group, together with ray boxes and slit plates. Send the number of sets and the delivery location in India or abroad through our contact page.
