Abstract
The effect of pressure on the optical rotatory power and dispersion has been investigated on single crystals of sodium chlorate over a pressure range of 3.0 kbar in the visible region of the spectrum. The optical rotatory power is found to decrease linearly with pressure with the magnitude of dρ/dP increasing with decreasing wavelengths. The results are shown to be in accordance with the pressure derivative of a quadratic dispersion equation.
