Choose a glass and inspect how it separates a beam.
Optical Dispersion Workbench
Newton’s decomposition of white light, computed honestly: the Cauchy relation n(λ) = A + B/λ² drives a live prism fan, and the active movement’s accent token is located on the spectrum by its dominant wavelength.
One beam. Two glasses.
Pin the first glass, then change the second. Both diagrams share the same apex and incident-beam construction.
Advanced: the coefficients behind the response
Cauchy n(λ) = A + B/λ², with λ in nanometres here. Increasing B increases the wavelength dependence. The diagram includes internal reflection where an exit ray cannot transmit.
A = 1.5046; B = 4200; apex = 60°
Keep one. Try another.
Pin a plate before changing the controls. Each pin keeps its own recipe and lighting context.
Carry this specimen into another tool
The image travels locally in this tab with its source recipe. This is a flattened plate: the destination does not recreate fluid motion or convert material coefficients.
