How does refractive index `(mu)` of a material vary with respect to wavelenght `(lambda)`. (A and B are constants).

A

`mu = A + (B)/(lambda^(2))`

B

`mu = A + Blambda^(2))`

C

`mu = A + (B)/(lambda)`

D

`mu = A = B lambda`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D

According to cauchy.s relation, `mu = A + (B)/(lambda^(2))`
