List of refractive indices. Refraction at interface. Many materials have a well-characterized refractive index, but these indices often depend strongly upon the frequency of light, causing optical dispersion.
Reflection calculator. Wavelength: 0.5876 µm. Angle of incidence (0~90°): Direction: in out. Reflectance [ i ] P-polarized.
Index of refraction of any material is strongly dependent on the wavelength (frequency) of light used to measure it. Standard index of refraction measurements are taken at the "yellow doublet" sodium D line, with a wavelength of 589 nanometers (509 THz).
Material: Index: Vacuum: 1.00000: Air at STP: 1.00029: Ice: 1.31: Water at 20 C: 1.33: Acetone: 1.36: Ethyl alcohol: 1.36: Sugar solution(30%) 1.38: Fluorite: 1.433 ...
In optics, the refractive index (or refraction index) of an optical medium is a dimensionless number that gives the indication of the light bending ability of that medium. Refraction of a light ray. The refractive index determines how much the path of light is bent, or refracted, when entering a material.
Feb 20, 2022 · The equation for index of refraction (Equation \ref{index}) can be rearranged to determine \(v\) \[v = \frac{c}{n}. \nonumber\] The index of refraction for zircon is given as 1.923 in Table \(\PageIndex{1}\), and \(c\) is given in the equation for speed of light.
