dispersion of light

The equation is used to determine the dispersion of light in the medium.

This property is based on the principles of dispersion of light.

He also carried out the first experiments on the dispersion of light into its constituent colors.

The dispersion of light by glass prisms is used to construct spectrometers and spectroradiometers.

Polaritons describe the crossing of the dispersion of light with any interacting resonance.

The spectrum seen when light passes through a prism is an example of the dispersion of light.

In addition to other attributes, this characteristic means a higher index of refraction and stronger dispersion of light.

His thesis was entitled "Research on the absorption and dispersion of light by substances capable of optical rotation".

The hardness and high dispersion of light of diamond make it useful for both industrial applications and jewellery.

Chromatic dispersion, the dispersion of light due to differing refraction index for different wavelengths.

He had concluded that the lens of any refracting telescope would suffer from the dispersion of light into colors (chromatic aberration).

Newton studied this phenomenon systematically during his experiments with optics and published in his 'Opticks' the concept of dispersion of light.

Such dispersion of light in glass or water underlies the origin of rainbows and other optical phenomena, in which different wavelengths appear as different colors.

Diamond is one of the best known Allotropes of carbon, whose hardness and high dispersion of light make it useful for industrial applications and jewelry.

From this work he concluded that any refracting telescope would suffer from the dispersion of light into colours, and invented a reflecting telescope (today known as a Newtonian telescope) to bypass that problem.

Aquatic kingfishers have high numbers of red pigments in their oil droplets; the reason red droplets predominate is not understood, but the droplets may help with the glare or the dispersion of light from particulate matter in the water.

An educational collaboration involving an LHC physicist and a High School Teachers at CERN educator suggests that dispersion of light - responsible for the rainbow and dispersive prism - is a useful analogy for the Higgs field's symmetry breaking and mass-causing effect.
