Abstract
The fraction of randomly polarized radiation scattered by a spherical particle into a unit solid angle in the direction θ can be represented by the equation
where Pn(cosθ) are the Legendre polynomials. Values of the angular distribution coefficients, an, are presented for nonabsorbing spheres with an index of refraction of 1.33 at a series of values of the ratio of circumference to wavelength of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30. Application of the results is illustrated.
