    Abstract Ultraviolet Linear Dichroism (LD) spectra of the indene molecule in stretched polyethylene (PE) film are reported. Differently polarized electronic transitions are resolved in the LD spectrum. The first electronic transition at λ max = 285 nm, which is hidden by the second one in solution, is clearly isolated in LD spectra and polarized along the long axis of the molecule. The second one which is located at about λ max = 250 nm is polarized along the short axis. The calculated spectrum of indene shows the same trends in complete agreement with experimental findings
