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
Golden view of sea shell is due to
diffraction
polarisation
dispersion
reflection
B.
polarisation
When a ray of light falls on sea shell, then its small amount first gets refracted (slightly polarised) and then almost gets reflected back (fully polarised). That is why, view of sea shell is golden due to polarisation.
