The application of penta prism is it is used in Plumb Level, Surveying, Alignment and Optical Tooling.

 

Beam splitter Penta Prism:

The application of this prism is used in Plumb Level, Surveying, Alignment, Range finding and Optical Tooling.

 

Right Angle Prism:

Prisms are sometimes used for the internal reflection at the surfaces rather than for dispersion. If light inside the prism hits one of the surfaces at a sufficiently steep angle, total internal reflection occurs and all of the light is reflected. This makes a prism a useful substitute for a mirror in some situations.
