Basically, it's a way of splitting payments or turning one payment into many. A prism could be identified by something like a note (this is what nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw) is doing.

However, there are other ways to implement prisms. A prism could be represented by an LNURL or even a BOLT 12 offer. Whenever, say, an offer is paid, the full amount paid gets split and sent out to each member of the prism based on each member's relative split.
