QQuestion
The equation expressing the correlation between refractive index and wavelength of light is
(a) μ = A + B/λ
(b) μ = A + Bλ²
(c) μ = Aλ + B
(d) μ = A + B/λ²
✓Answer
(d) μ = A + B/λ²
Explanation
The refractive index (μ) of light is inversely proportional to the square of the wavelength (λ). This is represented by the equation μ = A + B/λ².
