mirror. Reflected light from it controls a photoelectric-tube follow-up system that makes a permanent record of the weak electrical-input signal. A prism provides another method of reflecting or bending a light beam toward a photoelectric tube. In its simplest form a prism is merely a glass pyramid. Light entering the pyramid . from one side is bent toward the base as it passes through the glass, Fig. 3.
Deflection. Fig. 2, which diagrams psrt of the optical system of a photo meter, gives a good illustration of how ` prisms and minors bend light beams In electronic metering devices. Light from the lamp is focused into a beam and di rected to the left to a prism. Here the beam first posses through a lens and into the prism where it is deflected and passes through another lens toward a
