RE: Cerenkov spectrum question

["North, David" <DNorth@Lifespan.org>]

Oops, I forgot to sign it.

The color is blue for water, about 470 nm; but for any material such as air
or glass the spectrum actually depends on the dialectric constant of the
medium, if I correctly remember my electromagnetic theory.
