One of the most accurate formulas for dispersion is the Sellmeier equation:
[tex]n^2(\lambda) = 1 + \sum_i \frac{B_i \lambda^2}{\lambda^2 - C_i}[/tex]
Dispersion does not arise with Huygen's Principle.
Is there a theoretical model that describes dispersion and explains why Sellmeier's equation takes the form that it does?
