प्रश्न
How does the refractive index of a transparent medium depend on the wavelength of incident light used ?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The refractive index of a transparent medium is inversely proportional to the wavelength of incident light. The relationship between the two is given by
\[\mu = \frac{\lambda_0}{\lambda}\]
\[\text { where }\]
\[ \mu = \text { Refractive index of medium}\]
\[ \lambda_0 = \text { Wavelength of incident light in vacuum}\]
\[\lambda = \text { Wavelength of incident light in medium }\]
