    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belay_glasses

    Principle of operation of belay glasses. Light from above is reflected into the observer's eye. [2] Belaying involves a person standing on a stable platform below a rock climber controlling the tension and friction of the climber's rope. Since this activity requires craning one's neck to look up at the climber, a common malady named "belayer's ...

  4. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    In optics, a dispersive prism is an optical prism that is used to disperse light, that is, to separate light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow ). Different wavelengths (colors) of light will be deflected by the prism at different angles. [1] This is a result of the prism material's index of refraction varying with ...

  5. Compound prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_prism

    The simplest compound prism is a doublet, consisting of two elements in contact, as shown in the figure at right. A ray of light passing through the prism is refracted at the first air-glass interface, again at the interface between the two glasses, and a final time at the exiting glass-air interface. The deviation angle of the ray is given by ...

    EnChroma lenses are designed, manufactured, marketed and distributed by EnChroma, inc. in Berkeley, California. EnChroma glasses were invented incidentally in 2002 by Donald McPherson while trying to develop lenses to protect and aid surgeons during laser operations.

    George Malcolm Stratton (September 26, 1865 – October 8, 1957) was an American psychologist who pioneered the study of perception in vision by wearing special glasses which inverted images up and down and left and right. He studied under one of the founders of modern psychology, Wilhelm Wundt, and started one of the first experimental ...
