Primes

• Dispersion
  • In optics and wave physics it is the classical case: a prism separates white light because the index of refraction is wavelength-dependent, so red and blue enter together and exit at different angles.
• Impedance Mismatch and Coupling Efficiency
  • Impedance mismatch concerns reflected or attenuated energy transfer even in linear systems, a separation Hecht (2017) makes explicit when distinguishing linear Fresnel reflection at perfectly linear optical interfaces from genuinely nonlinear-medium effects.

    This sourceStandard optics textbook: distinguishes linear Fresnel reflection at perfectly linear optical interfaces from nonlinear-medium effects, clarifying that impedance-mismatch loss arises from interface property mismatch even in fully linear systems.
