REFRACTIVE INDEX OF LIGHT FROM A CONDENSED MATTER. NEW VERSION

The study analytically relates macroscopic electrodynamic characteristics to the optical constants of a condensed isotropic matter. The language of hypercomplex algebra is used. The resulting solution is extended to the anisotropic case.

Acknowledgment: The research was performed under the state assignment from Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education, theme Spin, No 122021000036-3, and theme Function, No 122021000035-6.
