Optical glass is usually free of strain, but when mechanical or thermal stress is exerted upon it, glass shows birefringence. Stress F (Pa), optical path difference (nm) and thickness of glass d (cm) have the following relationship:
In this case, proportional constant is called the photoelastic constant. It is listed in this catalogue at a unit of (nm/cm/105 Pa). The photoelastic constant is the material constant that will change by glass type. By using it, optical path difference can be computed from given stress. Internal stress can also be computed from optical path difference.

What is the scientific definition for constant?
A constant is a variable that always stays the same, e.g. A factor in a controlled experiment that doesn't change.
Is it possible that the velocity of a body changes and its acceleration remains constant?
The definition of acceleration is: Any change of velocity, that is, speed or direction of motion. If an object is undergoing constant acceleration, then the definition says that its velocity must be changing.
Can a body move with a constant velocity in an accelerated motion?
No. The definition of acceleration is change in velocity.
Can an object be accelerating if it has constant velocity?
No. The definition of acceleration is the change in an object's velocity over time. Acceleration must then be zero since velocity remains constant.
What is the definition of zero acceleration?
Zero rate of change of velocity. Straight-line motion at a constant speed.
What is the definition of constant multiplier?
i believe that the definition of a constant multiplier is when you are obviously multiplying thing more than once
Definition of exponential growth?
the definition is when individuals in a reproduce at a constant rate
What is the definition of track time constant?
Bahnzeitkonstante
What the definition of constant?
Unmoving, resolute, unchanging
What is a definition for the scientific term constant motion?
It is motion in a straight line at a constant velocity.
What is the definition of constant used in math?
A number without a variable. Ex.) 5 is a constant, 5x is not.
What is the word definition of the constant change of landscape?
erosion
What is the definition for constant of proportionality?
The state of being in proportion.
What is the defention for constant?
Not sure about a defention, but the definition is something which does not change.
What is the definition of constant in a science experiment?
The thing that never changes
Why a constant's derivative is always zero?
One definition of the derivative is: "Rate of change". Since a constant is constant, it doesn't change, and the rate at which it changes is zero.
What does constant of variation mean?
It means if it is the constant rate of a number kind of like a direct variation. Like if you say 10 divided by 5 it equals 2 and if you say 4 divided by 2 it equals 2 so that's constant I hope I could help you
