  • It isn't misleading. It's accurate. The fact that higher frequencies travel through more cycles, in a given time span, does not mean (or imply) that they move slower. In air all frequencies are moving at the same speed. In the prism the higher frequencies are moving slightly slower, as they should (in this case 25% slower). Also the relations between frequencies, speeds and angles of deflection are proper. Bammesk (talk) 15:02, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Cool, I'll take your word for it. This was an issue in a previous version of the image (see c:File talk:Light dispersion conceptual waves.gif) so I'm glad it's been fully corrected in the current one. hinnk (talk) 23:23, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original – The faravahar, a Zoroastrian symbol, as it appears on the facade of the Fire Temple of Yazd.
Reason
Close-up detail of the faravahar, an important symbol in Zoroastrianism, as it appears on the Fire Temple of Yazd. I think the image is technically quite good, I like that this example has color (a lot of the other examples on the faravahar page are simply hewn from unadorned stone), and the mild shadows bring out the relief. Rated a Quality Image on Commons.
