The evolution of the concentration profile in a gravitational field near the critical consolute point is studied by refractive index measurements. The dependencies of the relaxation time on the distance to the critical level and temperature change are obtained. The decreasing of equilibration time for refractive index gradient is observed, while the critical level is approached. This result contradicts...
