Refractive Index Gradient
- The rate at which the refractive index changes in a material with respect to distance is known as the refractive index gradient. The slope of the refractive index profile at any given location is referred to as distance.
- The reciprocal of a unit of distance is used to express the refractive index gradient.
- The rate at which the refractive index varies with distance at any given position is an illustration of a refractive index gradient.
- The gradient of the refractive index is a vector point function.
Summary:
The refractive index of a diamond is 2.42. What is the meaning of this statement?
Since a diamond has a refractive index of 2.42, its speed of light is 1/2.42 times that of light in a vacuum. The rate where refractive index changes in a material based on distance is called its refractive index gradient.
