I was just being a silly. Don't get the 'ump. :)

edit: And I too watched it all. The final 'drips' at the right hand side were quite tantalising.

What's the wedge made of? Each layer a higher refractive index than the last?
(, Thu 5 Mar 2009, 14:57, archived)
# sort of....
.. it has a graded plasma frequency, with the same electric and magnetic response. Somewhere about the middle of the wedge (depending on frequency), the refractive index changes sign.

It's a failed trapped rainbow.
