Prism audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Prism" — noun, pronounced /ˈprɪzəm/, with the stress on "prism".
Narrator: A prism is a transparent glass object that separates white light into a rainbow of colours.
Narrator: In plain English, it makes rainbows from sunlight.
Narrator: It comes from the Greek prisma, something sawn.
Narrator: A common collocation is "a triangular prism", which describes a solid shape with triangle ends.
Narrator: It differs from "lens", because a lens focuses light, while a prism bends and splits it.
Narrator: In a figurative sense, to see through the prism of something means from that viewpoint.
Narrator: Physics, maths, photography and journalism all rely on the word.
Narrator: So remember: a prism splits light, and shapes how we see.
