    There is a dependency relationship between the refractive index of each substance and the radiation wavelength.

    The refractive index in a given medium is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a color.

    For example:

    The rays of the red color have a wavelength greater than the rays of the blue color, therefore they have a lower refractive index and consequently a light scattering less than the blue.

    Snell's law:

    n₂/n₁ = v₁/v₂ = λ₁ / λ₂

    *n: (refractive index)

    v: (speed of light propagation)

    λ: (wavelength)
