General Nathan Bedford Forrest was a brave and ingenious Confederate officer who won all but one of the battles he led; a philanthropist who gave generously to family, friends, and charities; and a humanitarian who not only spared the lives of numerous Yankees on the battlefield, but who freed his slaves years before Lincoln issued his fake and illegal Emancipation Proclamation.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Sellmeier equation is an empirical relationship between refractive index and wavelength for a particular transparent medium. The equation is used to determine the dispersion of light in the medium. It was first proposed in 1871 by W. Sellmeier, and was a development of the work of Augustin Cauchy on Cauchy's equation for modelling dispersion.where n is the refractive index, ? is the wavelength, and B1,2,3 and C1,2,3 are experimentally determined Sellmeier coefficients. These coefficients are usually quoted for ? in micrometres. Note that this ? is the vacuum wavelength; not that in the material itself, which is ?/n(?). A different form of the equation is sometimes used for certain types of...
