  I can provide you with an image of a prism, but not ala Pink Floyd.
For technical reasons peculiar to computer graphics, that image would
be VERY hard to do (as a physical simulation).

  I know a bit about this; my Master's Thesis was on exactly this topic.

  I do have a image of a prism sitting on a checkerboard, with a little 
rainbow above it.  The prism is dispersing the checkerboard, as prisms
are wont to do.  I even have a stereo pair of the image...
