I'm looking for Methanol (CH3OH)
refractive index (n,k) table in Infra Red 2-10micron
If anyone can help me with that

The refractive index of methanol varies depending on the wavelength of light being used, but at 20°C it is approximately 1.3288. This value decreases as the wavelength increases.
Methanol has a relatively low refractive index compared to other substances, such as water (1.333) and glass (1.52). It is closer in value to ethanol (1.361) and acetone (1.36).
Yes, the refractive index of methanol changes with temperature. As the temperature increases, the refractive index decreases. This is due to the change in density of the liquid as it expands with increasing temperature.
The refractive index of methanol can be measured using a refractometer, which works by measuring the angle at which a light beam is bent as it passes through the liquid. The refractive index is then calculated using Snell's law.
The refractive index of methanol is important in various industries, such as the production of optical fibers and lenses. It also plays a role in determining the concentration of methanol in a solution, as well as in spectroscopy and chemical analysis.
