Abstract

The height dependence of the gradient of the refractive index and the scatteredlight intensity of n-pentane at the critical temperature is investigated experimentally and theoretically. It is shown that the sign of the height asymmetry of the gravitational effect is determined by the height asymmetry of the chemical potential.
