Lorentz-lorenz Relation

The Lorentz-Lorenz Relation is a physical formula in optics that relates the refractive index of a substance to its molecular polarizability and number density, thereby providing a microscopic explanation of macroscopic optical properties through the proportionality between the refractive index and the polarizability per unit volume.
