Scattering by Individual Transparent Spheres

Abstract
Scattering intensity functions of individual droplets of dioctyl phthalate (refractive index, 1.4830), phenyl methyl siloxane (refractive index, 1.5559), and pentaphenyl ether (refractive index, 1.6309) illuminated with 6328-A radiation from a He–Ne laser were measured over the size range from 7.5-μ to 110-μ-diam. Within the limits of experimental error the results are shown to be in good agreement with Mie theory.
