What is the equation that relates refractive index of a substance to the wavelength of light entering.? - index.of / desnuda /jpg

I remember learning, when one enters the equation, the refractive index of a substance at the wavelength of the light that. Refractive index as a function of wavelength. I have a degree in physics, but I have a vague recollection of this. Please help.

  1. I think it is a basic equation that describes, but there are a number of empirical polynomial equations that are used. For the optical design and analysis is characterized by a pair of glasses in May Sellmeier equation with six coefficients. The simple equation of the Cauchy (n (λ) = A + B / λ ^ 2) approaches the curve of the refractive index of glass of normal dispersion in the visible.
