Question:

How does refractive index ($μ$) of a material vary with respect to wavelength (λ)? A and B are constants

Options:

$μ = A + Bλ^2$

$μ = A +\frac{B}{λ^2}$

$μ = A + Bλ$

$μ = A +\frac{B}{λ}$

Correct Answer:

$μ = A +\frac{B}{λ^2}$

Explanation:

Cauchy's formula is $μ = A +\frac{B}{λ^2}$
