Question
This quantity equals the square root of one plus the electric susceptibility by the Ewald–Oseen extinction theorem. Cauchy expressed this quantity as a Laurent series with only even non-positive terms in an equation that inspired a formula for the square of this quantity, the Sellmeier equation. Values of this quantity at levels labeled C, d, and F are used to calculate a substance’s (*) Abbe number. This quantity is anisotropic and polarization-sensitive in birefringent materials. The product of this quantity in a medium and the sine of the angle of incidence is constant across a boundary per Snell’s law. For 10 points, name this dimensionless optical quantity, the ratio of the speed of light in two media. ■END■
