Abstract
In the course of work on the optical constants of metals using an apparatus designed by one of us (A.M.T.), and constructed with the aid of grants from the Carnegie Trust and Royal Society, it became necessary to have an estimate of the temperature coefficient of rotation of quartz in the ultra-violet. (The rotation at temperature T2° C. may be expressed by ρ2 = ρ1 {1 + α (T2 − T1)2}, where ρ2 is the rotation at T2° C. and ρ1 the rotation at temperature T1° C.) A search of the literature only yielded a coefficient for the visible spectrum. It was therefore decided to make an estimate using the apparatus itself.
