Abstract

The stress birefringence relation in the alkali halides KBr, KCl and NaCl has been studied employing for the purpose a modified form of Filon's spectrometer method. A linear law is found to hold for stresses ranging from zero to 25kg cm-2. Curves are given showing the photo-elastic dispersion of these solids.
