dispersionwould
Dispersionwould is a term that describes the phenomenon where a material exhibits a wavelength-dependent refractive index. This means that different colors of light, which correspond to different wavelengths, will travel at different speeds through the material. Consequently, white light, which is a combination of all visible wavelengths, will be split into its constituent colors when it passes through a dispersing medium. This splitting of light is the basis for many optical phenomena and technologies.
The amount of dispersion a material exhibits is quantified by its Abbe number, often denoted by the
Dispersion is a crucial factor in the design of optical instruments. Without accounting for dispersion, lenses
