2. Mie scattering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mie_scattering

   Mie scattering (sometimes referred to as a non-molecular scattering or aerosol particle scattering) takes place in the lower 4,500 m (15,000 ft) of the atmosphere, where many essentially spherical particles with diameters approximately equal to the wavelength of the incident ray may be present. Mie scattering theory has no upper size limitation ...

3. Extinction paradox - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_paradox

   In the small wavelength limit, the total scattering cross-section of an impenetrable sphere is twice its geometrical cross-sectional area (which is the value obtained in classical mechanics). [1] Several explanations for this phenomenon have been proposed: [2] destructive interference inside particle shadow [3]

4. Light scattering by particles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_scattering_by_particles

   Scattering from any spherical particles with arbitrary size parameter is explained by the Mie theory. Mie theory, also called Lorenz-Mie theory or Lorenz-Mie-Debye theory, is a complete analytical solution of Maxwell's equations for the scattering of electromagnetic radiation by spherical particles (Bohren and Huffman, 1998).

5. Scattering - Wikipedia

   Wine glass in LCD projectors light beam makes the beam scatter.. In physics, scattering is a wide range of physical processes where moving particles or radiation of some form, such as light or sound, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by localized non-uniformities (including particles and radiation) in the medium through which they pass.

6. Rutherford scattering experiments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_scattering...

   Rutherford scattering cross-section is strongly peaked around zero degrees, and yet has nonzero values out to 180 degrees. This formula predicted the results that Geiger measured in the coming year. The scattering probability into small angles greatly exceeds the probability in to larger angles, reflecting the tiny nucleus surrounded by empty ...

7. Tyndall effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyndall_effect

   Rayleigh scattering is defined by a mathematical formula that requires the light-scattering particles to be far smaller than the wavelength of the light. [6] For a dispersion of particles to qualify for the Rayleigh formula, the particle sizes need to be below roughly 40 nanometres (for visible light), [ citation needed ] and the particles may ...

8. Dynamic light scattering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_light_scattering

   The general idea is to isolate singly scattered light and suppress undesired contributions from multiple scattering in a dynamic light scattering experiment. Different implementations of cross-correlation light scattering have been developed and applied. Currently, the most widely used scheme is the so-called 3D-dynamic light scattering method.

9. Codes for electromagnetic scattering by spheres - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codes_for_electromagnetic...

   There are many phenomena related to light scattering by spherical particles such as resonances, surface waves, plasmons, near-field scattering. Even though Mie theory offers convenient and fast way of solving light scattering problem by homogeneous spherical particles, there are other techniques, such as discrete dipole approximation, FDTD, T ...
