Theoretical Investigations on the Light Scattering of Colloidal Spheres. IX. Lateral Scattering at 90° from Incident Natural and Linearly Polarized Light

Abstract

The Mie quantities i∥,i⊥ and their sum are calculated for nonabsorbing spheres for the parameters γ=90°, m=1.05 (0.05) 1.30 and α=0.2 (0.2) 25.6. The experimentally important specific scattered intensity (Iu/I0c)0 is derived from (i∥+i⊥)/2. The periodicities in the prominent (secondary) i (α) oscillations and in the less pronounced primary and tertiary oscillations are briefly discussed.
