Abstract
The Einstein field equations (R μσ =0) are seen as possible candidates for a set of unified field equations. Three solutions of these field equations are used for a new interpretation and reformulation of the refractive index of an isotropic material medium. The new formulation explains the basic features of “anomalous” refractive index dispersion curves. It also predicts that the refractive index is a function of the angle of incidence when the plane in which the measurement is made is not tangential to the surface of the spherical gravitating mass, thereby providing a suitable test for the theory and hence of general relativity.
