Subscripts 1 and 2 refer to initial and final optical media respectively. These ratios are sometimes also used, following simply from other definitions of refractive index, wave phase velocity, and the luminal speed equation:

is the speed of light (i.e. phase velocity) in a medium with permeability μ, and permittivity ε, and ∇ 2 is the Laplace operator. In a vacuum, v ph = c 0 = 299 792 458 m/s, a fundamental physical constant. [1] The electromagnetic wave equation derives from Maxwell's equations.
Integer solutions to the optic equation 1 / a + 1 / b = 1 / c for 1 ≤ a,b ≤ 99. The number in the circle is c . In the SVG file, hover over a circle to see its solution.
The handbook was originally published in 1928 by the Chemical Rubber Company (now CRC Press) as a supplement (Mathematical Tables) to the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. Beginning with the 10th edition (1956), it was published as CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and kept this title up to the 29th edition (1991).

1.03560653×10 2 μm 2 For common optical glasses, the refractive index calculated with the three-term Sellmeier equation deviates from the actual refractive index by less than 5×10 −6 over the wavelengths' range [ 5 ] of 365 nm to 2.3 μm, which is of the order of the homogeneity of a glass sample. [ 6 ]
The theory of light-matter interaction on which Cauchy based this equation was later found to be incorrect. In particular, the equation is only valid for regions of normal dispersion in the visible wavelength region. In the infrared, the equation becomes inaccurate, and it cannot represent regions of anomalous dispersion. Despite this, its ...
