Abstract

Regression analysis and analysis of covariance demonstrates (1) a high correlation between glass density and refractive index and (2) continuity in the regression line throughout the entire range of glass density values. Once a refractive index value is obtained, reference to the regression line will provide an approximate density value, knowledge of which will assist the analyst in preparing a particularly discriminating density gradient system.
