Abstract

It is found that the static dielectric constant and mean polarizability of a simple nonpolar fluid share the singularity of the internal energy at the critical point. This singularity can also be expected in the index of refraction at nonzero frequencies along with a more singular term that vanishes as the frequency goes to zero.
