Mie Scattering
Introduction Mie scattering is a solution of Maxwell’s equations for the scattering of an electromagnetic plane wave by a homogeneous sphere. The term “Mie scattering” suggests scattering by particles that are similar in size to, or larger than, the wavelength of light. It is named after Gustav Mie, who first solved the scattering problem for…

Scattering Theory
Introduction Scattering theory is a framework in physics that is used to study and understand the interactions of particles and fields. It is especially important in quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and particle physics, as well as in classical wave phenomena like light scattering. Basic Principle Scattering involves an incident wave or particle that is…
