The dispersion of the electro-optical Kerr effect in CO₂ has been studied from 4000A to 7500A. The results are in better agreement with the Langevin-Born theory than with that of Havelock. An absolute value of the Kerr constant B for CO₂ has been determined. This is (0.249±{}0.003)×{}10^-10 for a temperature of 17.5^∘{}C, a wave-length of 5890A and a pressure of one atmosphere.
