Sellmeier equation - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sellmeier_equationThe Sellmeier equation is an empirical relationship between refractive index and wavelength for a particular transparent medium.The equation is used to determine the dispersion of light in the medium.. It was first proposed in 1872 by Wilhelm Sellmeier and was a development of the work of Augustin Cauchy on Cauchy's equation for modelling dispersion.
