   Prism \Prism\ (pr[icr]z'm), n. [L. prisma, Gr. pri`sma, fr.

      1. (Geom.) A solid whose bases or ends are any similar,
            equal, and parallel plane figures, and whose sides are

               quadrangular prism, a rhombic prism, etc.
  
      2. (Opt.) A transparent body, with usually three rectangular
            plane faces or sides, and two equal and parallel

            transparent cement, so that the ordinary image produced by
            double refraction is thrown out of the field by total
            reflection from the internal cemented surface, and the
            extraordinary, or polarized, image alone is transmitted.
