The function of prisms is dispersion, light deflection, and image reversal. The refractive index measurement of glass material can be measured using the minimum bias angle of the prism. Plane mirrors can also change the direction of light, but the glass plate used to make flat mirrors is not a good parallelity, so there will be a double image, so must be plated on the glass plate aluminum to increase reflectivity, quality requirements are more stringent, so many optical instruments often use prisms as a change of light direction.
