    Relationship between wavelength and refraction

    I reiterate: Is there a way for me to relate the angle refracted, wavelength, and the index of refraction of a medium? How would I predict the angle refracted through a medium at a specific wavelength of light? Anyone have any ideas?

    Relationship between wavelength and refraction

    I've been there before, and actually http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics ) is more helpful. Both do have sections on what I'm asking about, but I wasn't able to construct a relationship that would or show the values I am measuring based on the information there and in other places...

    Relationship between wavelength and refraction

    While playing around with some laser diodes I have at home ~(405, 550, 650 nm) I have noticed that the refracted angles through some mediums (all?) is different. That is, if I fire my 405nm laser through some water at \theta_{1}=80°, the angle of refraction is ~\theta_{2}=47.01±0.05°. Now...
