p] (1) The Lorentz-Lorenz equation, which is also known as the Clausius-Mossotti relation and Maxwell's formula, relates the refractive index of a molecule/material to molar refractivity.
Molar polarizability The Lorentz-Lorenz equation expresses the relation between refractive index n and density [Rho] of the filament as follows.
