resistance of the medium rapidly enough to remain in phase, and the
dielectric constant drops in a more or less stepwise fashion. Each
characteristic frequency where there is a notable change of dielectric
constant is related to the time taken for the molecule to rotate about
a particular axis, and hence, to the appropriate rotary diffusion
coefficient.
