Abbe number: Overview, Abbe diagram & Derivation of relative change

In optics and lens design, the Abbe number, also known as the Vd-number or constringence of a transparent material, is an approximate measure of a material's dispersion (change in refractive index as a function of wavelength), with high Vd values indicating low dispersion. It is named after Ernst Abbe (1840–1905), the German physicist who defined it. The…
