The Cauchy’s dispersion formula is

A

`n = A + B lambda^(-1) + C lambda^(-4)`

B

`n = A + B lambda^(2) + C lambda^(-6)`

C

`n = A + B lambda^(-2) + C lambda^(4)`

D

`n = A + B lambda^(2) + C lambda^(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

n = A `+ (B)/(lambda^(2)) + (C )/(lambda^(4))`.
