  Picture of Prism and Antiprism
A general prism is a polyhedron possessing two congruent polygonal faces and with all remaining faces parallelograms
A right prism is a prism in which the top and bottom polygons lie on top of each other so that the vertical polygons connecting their sides are not only parallelograms, but rectangles.
A prism that is not a right prism is known as an oblique prism.

  Prism (optics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In optics, a prism is a device used to refract light, reflect it or break it up (to disperse it) into its constituent spectral colours (colours of the rainbow).
Some types of optical prisms are not in fact in the shape of geometric prisms.
Dispersive prisms are used to break up light into its constituent spectral colours because the refractive index depends on frequency (see dispersion); the white light entering the prism is a mixture of different frequencies, each of which gets bent slightly differently.

A right equilateral triangular prism is used to show the critical angle of plastic, and how total internal reflection can be used to bend a beam of light 90° or 180° from it's original trajectory.
If a laser is shone into side A of the prism so that the light hits side C at a small angle of incidence, then most of the laser light is transmitted through side C and into the air around the prism.
Shine the laser into side A of the prism such that the light is transmitted through side C. Rotate the source of laser light clockwise around the prism until no more light is transmitted through side C. All the light should be being reflected off side C and back into the prism.

When one end of the prism is twisted relative to the other, the rectangular sides of the prism lose their rectangularity and become non-planar quadrilaterals.
For the higher-symmetry prisms, it is also not necessary that the side tendon be restricted to connecting adjacent struts: it can skip over one or more struts in its trip from one end of the prism to the other.
