Title: Applicability of Rayleigh–Gans Scattering to Spherical Particles

Journal Article · · Journal of the Optical Society of America

Exact computations of scattering functions for spheres are compared with those obtained from the Rayleigh-Gans theory of scattering of electromagnetic radiation. The range of validity for spheres as a guide for non-homogeneous particles and other geometries. This study is limited to non-absorbing particles with real indices of refraction. (C.E.S.)
