Difference between Christiaan Huygens and Dispersion (optics)

Christiaan Huygens vs. Dispersion (optics)

Christiaan Huygens (Hugenius; 14 April 1629 – 8 July 1695) was a Dutch physicist, mathematician, astronomer and inventor, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time and a major figure in the scientific revolution. In optics, dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency.

Similarities between Christiaan Huygens and Dispersion (optics)

Christiaan Huygens and Dispersion (optics) have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Achromatic lens, Calcite, Cambridge University Press, Chromatic aberration, Light, Optics, Speed of light, Velocity.

Achromatic lens

An achromatic lens or achromat is a lens that is designed to limit the effects of chromatic and spherical aberration.

Chromatic aberration

In optics, chromatic aberration (abbreviated CA; also called chromatic distortion and spherochromatism) is an effect resulting from dispersion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point.
