RI also depends on temperature
N D
20 N is the symbol for RI
20 C
D = sodium D line (589 nm)
N D
20 = 1.00000
N D
20 = 1.33299
For air,
For water,
When defining RI, the wavelength and temperature are specified:
RI depends on the wavelength of light
Natural light is made up of light of
different colour or wavelength (energy)
Control = Profitability (Case Study)
