is there some conspiracy about refraction?

2018-10-02 09:10:56 UTC  

if flat earth existed then the horizon should be above eye level

2018-10-02 09:11:07 UTC  

I generally push one or so conspiracies, not stuff that isn't really debatable...

2018-10-02 09:11:11 UTC  

(ignoring haze)

2018-10-02 09:11:21 UTC  

horizon is at eye level

2018-10-02 09:11:27 UTC  

no matter how high you go

2018-10-02 09:11:30 UTC  

@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

2018-10-02 09:11:32 UTC  

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.

2018-10-02 09:11:39 UTC  

it stays at eye level because we live on flat earth

2018-10-02 09:11:47 UTC  

i have kevin blocked and i dident even look at his posts

2018-10-02 09:12:12 UTC  

well, that is smart, ignore the one flat earther in the room

2018-10-02 09:12:39 UTC  

no ignore the troll in the room

2018-10-02 09:12:41 UTC  

its not a law that shorter wavelengths are bent more

2018-10-02 09:12:50 UTC  

time to ignore sigma 5

2018-10-02 09:12:53 UTC  

there are cases where its the longer one that does so

2018-10-02 09:12:54 UTC  

They do bend more... Google it

2018-10-02 09:12:55 UTC  

moronic

2018-10-02 09:14:04 UTC  

its kinda hard to search for such a thing but il try

2018-10-02 09:14:28 UTC  

what?

2018-10-02 09:15:08 UTC  

there is no single equation for a material and the refractive index of wavelength curve

2018-10-02 09:15:23 UTC  

its all directly measured

2018-10-02 09:15:45 UTC

2018-10-02 09:15:49 UTC  

there is your example

2018-10-02 09:15:57 UTC  

Google how wavelength affects refractive index

2018-10-02 09:16:05 UTC  

Yup see

2018-10-02 09:16:24 UTC  

@Σ5 what is this?

2018-10-02 09:16:30 UTC  
2018-10-02 09:16:45 UTC  

didn't ask u

2018-10-02 09:16:48 UTC  

thats a graph of refractive index of wavelength

2018-10-02 09:16:54 UTC  

of a specific material

2018-10-02 09:17:00 UTC  

ah

2018-10-02 09:17:08 UTC  

the curve is dependant on the material

2018-10-02 09:17:28 UTC  

is it like how much the ray of light bends upon hitting a surface?

2018-10-02 09:17:29 UTC  

you have to measure it at multiple wavelengths to get a rough approximation of teh curve

2018-10-02 09:17:36 UTC  

yes

2018-10-02 09:17:49 UTC  

higher refractive index the more the photons slow down

2018-10-02 09:17:58 UTC  

Anyway

2018-10-02 09:18:03 UTC  

n = refractive index

2018-10-02 09:18:13 UTC  

wait so FE don't believe in refraction right?

2018-10-02 09:18:48 UTC  

As light refracts at different angles based on the wavelength, according to Kevin's hypothesis, we should be able too see a rainbow (kinda) at the horizon

2018-10-02 09:18:50 UTC  

most
