Here is a simpler explanation:
- one of the equations that you need to memorize www.goldstandard-mcat.com/physics-equation-lists is:
constant c (speed of light in a vacuum) = nv
where n is the index of refraction and v is the velocity.
So if violet has, relatively, a smaller velocity v then its index of refraction n must be relatively higher in order to maintain c as constant. |
