Question:

Augustin Louis Cauchy (1789€“1857) determined an empirical equation for n(λ) for substances that are transparent in the visible. His expression corresponded to the power series relation

n = C¡ + C2/X + C3/xt + · . .

where the Cs are all constants. In light of Fig. 3.41, what is the physical significance of C1?

E = Eo cos (k ·F - wt) (3.41)
