A triangular glass solid that breaks down sunlight or white light into different colors is called a prism. Lenses are used to refract (bend) light, kaleidoscopes are tubes with mirrors inside that reflect multiple images, oculus refers to a circular opening or eye-shaped design, and crystal is a material known for its transparency and refractive properties, but does not specifically refer to a solid that breaks down light into colors.
