Dielectric Constants and Dispersion
Rubens conducted extensive collaborations, notably with Ernst Rutherford in the early 1900s, investigating the relationship between the dielectric constant ($\epsilon$) of substances and their refractive indices ($n$) at infrared wavelengths. His precise measurements confirmed the Lorentz-Lorenz relationship for many non-polar liquids, but he noted persistent deviations in highly viscous organic compounds.
