We present a general analysis of the sensitivity of a diffuse photon density wave in a homogeneous multiple-scattering medium to the presence of a small spherical object. From our calculations in both infinite and semi-infinite geometry we derive the charge and dipole coefficients that typify the object{close_quote}s most significant response. {copyright} {ital 1996 Optical Society of America.}
