The relation between wavelength and refractive index is:
Refractive index, n = fraccv
Where,
- c is the velocity of light in vacuum
- v is the velocity of light in a medium
We know that,
v = fλ
Where,
- f is the frequency
- λ is the wavelength
Substituting v in the refractive index, we get
n = fraccflambda
Therefore, it can be said that the refractive index is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
Hope it helps :)
