altho there is the effect of chromatic aberation
wich is where the refractive index depends on wavelength
well, we also have limited human sight, we can only see so far
there is no single function for this
its all measured
is there some conspiracy about refraction?
if flat earth existed then the horizon should be above eye level
I generally push one or so conspiracies, not stuff that isn't really debatable...
(ignoring haze)
horizon is at eye level
no matter how high you go
@Σ5 no no no, imagine I split a white ray of light and shine it across the horizon, if what Kevin says is true then certain colours must bend more
Each color has a different wavelength, and it bends differently from all other colors. Short wavelengths are slowed more sharply upon entering glass from air than are long wavelengths. Red light has the longest wavelength and is bent the least. Violet light has the shortest wavelength and is bent the most.
it stays at eye level because we live on flat earth
i have kevin blocked and i dident even look at his posts
well, that is smart, ignore the one flat earther in the room
no ignore the troll in the room
its not a law that shorter wavelengths are bent more
time to ignore sigma 5
there are cases where its the longer one that does so
moronic
its kinda hard to search for such a thing but il try
what?
there is no single equation for a material and the refractive index of wavelength curve
its all directly measured
there is your example
Google how wavelength affects refractive index
Yup see
@Σ5 what is this?
@dumblebore 🌈 science
didn't ask u
thats a graph of refractive index of wavelength
of a specific material
ah
the curve is dependant on the material
is it like how much the ray of light bends upon hitting a surface?
you have to measure it at multiple wavelengths to get a rough approximation of teh curve
yes
higher refractive index the more the photons slow down
