Index Calculation
Calculate to show the refractive index for each group.
Notes
1. A three-parameter Cauchy fit requires at least 3 wavelength/index data points.
2. With 3 points, the curve passes exactly through all points and R² is typically 1; additional points use least-squares fitting.
3. Abbe number uses F = 486.1327 nm, d = 587.5618 nm, and C = 656.2725 nm.
4. Move to read coordinates; click to select a curve; wheel to zoom; right-click to reset.
