Homework Statement
I have synthesize a material used in optical transmission. I want to know its transmission constant beta and its higher derivative. So the first step is to use the Sellmeier equation to describe its refractive indices. And I have already tested a series of refractive indices value at different wavelengths. How to get ist Sellmeier equation ?
Relevant Equations
$$n=\sqrt{1+\frac{B_1}{\lambda^2-C_1}+\frac{B_2}{\lambda^2-C_2}+\frac{B_3}{\lambda^2-C_3}}$$

actually i cannot find the link you provide.
 
It comes up on my computer.
 
maybe this link is forbidden in my place, anyway, thank you very much.

The equation in the link says
$$n^2(\lambda)=1+\frac{B_1\lambda^2}{\lambda^2-C_1}+\frac{B_2\lambda^2}{\lambda^2-C_2}+\frac{B_3\lambda^2}{\lambda^2-C_3}$$

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
