total internal reflection
Total internal reflection can occur only when a ray is incident on the surface of a medium whose refractive index is smaller than that of the medium in which the ray is travelling. Since the refractive index of air is 1.00029 and that of a diamond is 2.42, therefore brilliance of diamond is due to total internal reflection.
The Cauchy's dispersion formula is
n = A + Bλ-2 + Cλ-4
n = A + Bλ-2 + Cλ4
n = A + Bλ2 + Cλ-4
n = A + Bλ2 + Cλ4
