Fuchsin is a strong (aniline) dye, which in solution with alcohol has a deep red color. It appears red because it absorbs the green component of the spectrum. (As you might expect, the surfaces of crystals of fuchsin reflect green light rather strongly.) Imagine that you have a thin-walled hollow prism tilled with this solution. What will the spectrum look like for incident white light? By the way, anomalous dispersion was first observed in about 1840 by Fox Talbot, and the effect was christened in 1862 by Le Roux. His work was promptly forgotten, only to be rediscovered eight years later by C. Christiansen.
