An interpretation of the most recent experimental data on the optical rotatory dispersion of tellurium is presented. The experimental data are approximated by theoretical equations which were derived using the model of three coupled oscillators. The applied mathematical method is based on the sum of least squares. The derived equations are also helpful when modelling the circular dichroism of tellurium and discussing the sense of the rotation of the linear polarized light with regard to the crystal structure.
