I

Part II of this series examines dispersion in a diamond (sometimes called fire) and the factors that influence it along with clarity, colour and carat. Furthermore, the optics of good and poor cut for a diamond is examined by investigating total internal reflection. This simulation is ideal for the physics...

Reflection and Refraction of Light in Diamonds Part I

The first part of this series explores the physics of light and illustrates how cut influences the brightness of a diamond. An excellent cut is examined in detail by reviewing the concepts of refraction, critical angle and total internal reflection as applied to a diamond. This simulation is perfect for the...
