Leroux found that a prism filled with iodine vapour refracts the red rays to a greater extent than it refracts the blue (1862), and when Kundt (1871) - (in the paper offered) - showed the connection between this phenomenon and absorption: in the neighbourhood of an absorption band the refractive index undergoes considerable variations.....the mechanical theory - which had already been suspected by Maxwell in 1869 - was perfected by Helmholtz in 1875; three years later, H.A. Lorentz translated the results into electromagnetic language, and so, independently did Helmholtz in 1892."
