In this paper, the optical properties of CaH
2, in orthorhombic structure, with space group, , in crystal system (Co
2Si-type) have been investigated carefully. The theoretical milieu of the correlation between the dielectric function with other optical constants has been investigated. The real and the imaginary parts of the dielectric function have besides, been inspected accurately. The outcome of the exchange correlation potentials implemented (GGA and GGA U) to the abso...
