Question

We did a refraction lab and we used a semi circular prism and through it we shot a light beam in order to find the angle of refraction. Why is it that we used a semi circle and not perhaps a per circle or some other kind of prism? Thanks :)

It wont matter what shape the prism is if you are measuring just the angle.
