IOR 1.52
How did Corona derive at establishing the default value of IOR at 1.52?

Re: IOR 1.52
Crown glass is a type of optical glass used in lenses and other optical components. It has relatively low refractive index (≈1.52) and low dispersion (with Abbe numbers around 60). :p

Re: IOR 1.52
I am pretty sure the number 1.52 is a measurable physical property of glass/dielectrics. The "Crown" part is just a coincidence.
Or maybe...
