A new empirical formula for the (-2) moment of the photo-absorption cross section, sigma-2, has been determined from the 1988 compilation of Dietrich and Berman. A new fit to the data yields a new empirical formula which is in better agreement with Migdal's original calculation,
and approximately yields a 30% decrease in the polarization potential generated by virtual electric-dipole excitations of states around the giant dipole resonance. The effect of a mass-dependent symmetry energy provides an explanation for deviations from the hydrodynamic model.
