  1. visible light - Critical Angle Formula - Physics Stack Exchange

    May 20, 2020 · From this formula, it seems to be that we are substituting the angle of refraction as the angle of incidence, therefore $\frac {\sin (90)} {\sin (C)}$, but why can we do this?

  2. optics - Effective Refractive Index - Physics Stack Exchange

    Can some one please explain in simple words that what is effective refractive index? How it is different from the refractive index? And how we can calculate the effective refractive index?

  3. What is polytropic index? - Physics Stack Exchange

    What is polytropic index? What is the connection between it and work of an adiabatic system? I tried surfing but didn't able to find a proper answer for that.

  4. Refractive Index of Air Depending on Temperature

    Nov 12, 2020 · How does the refractive index of air rely on the temperature? Is there a theoretical derivation of it?

  5. Calculate the effective refractive index from group index

    Jan 8, 2022 · I'm currently trying to calculate the effective refractive index neff n e f f of waveguides using the (measured) group index ng n g and the wavelength λ λ. I started with …

  6. Refractive Index formula for denser to rarer medium

  7. optics - Refractive index of water - Physics Stack Exchange

    Dec 2, 2022 · Does that mean that diamond is a linear homogeneous medium, but water isn't? Is that the reason why the formula does not work for diamond? If so, then why is water not a …

  8. Real and imaginary parts of dielectric constant vs refractive index?

    These, the index of refraction and the inverse dielectric function are therefore the most appropriate quantities to measure. As a further reference, I recommend the book …

  9. Moving index in a summation - how does that work?

    Sep 18, 2017 · Moving index in a summation - how does that work? Ask Question Asked 8 years, 2 months ago Modified 4 years, 5 months ago

  10. electromagnetism - Why is the index of refraction different for ...

    Jul 30, 2015 · The index of refraction is a ratio; if a wavelength of one wave is different from that of another wave passing through the same medium, the index of refraction should not be …
