- The dispersion curve of glass is the curve that describes how the index of refraction of glass changes as a function of the wavelength. This curve can be represented approximately by Cauchy's empirical equation, n = A + B/2² where for a specific glass in question A = 1.40 and B = 2.5 × 10 nm² (yes, those units are nanometer squared). Find the phase and group velocities for light of 500nm wavelength in that glass.arrow_forwardThe pupil of an eagle's eye has a diameter of 6.0 mm. Two field mice are separated by 0.010 m.
