The Earth’s atmosphere is an environment replete with particles of differ-ent sizes with various refractive indices which affect the light radiation traveling through it. The Mie scattering theory is one of the well-known light scattering techniques ap-plicable to modeling of electromagnetic scattering from tiny atmospheric particles or aerosols floating in the air or within the clouds. In this...

Despite the quantum nature of the process, collective scattering by dense cold samples of two-level atoms can be interpreted classically describing the sample as a macroscopic object with a complex refractive index. We demonstrate that resonances in Mie theory can be easily observable in the cooperative scattering by tuning the frequency of the incident laser field or the atomic number. The sol...

Mie theory offers an exact solution to the problem of scattering of sunlight by spherical drops of water. Until recently, most applications of Mie theory to scattering of light were restricted to a single wavelength. Mie theory can now be used on modern personal computers to produce full-color simulations of atmospheric optical effects, such as rainbows, coronas, and glories. Comparison of such...

Light scattering effects can be noticed every day when we look at the sky or the atmosphere. The main reason why the sky is blue on a sunny day is Rayleigh scattering (after Lord Rayleigh) of sunlight, i.e., the scattering of electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength. However, for cloud and haze scattering, the Mie theory (after Gustav Mie) is very important where ...

Electromagnetic scattering by a homogeneous, isotropic sphere is commonly referred to as Mie theory, although Gustav Mie (1868–1957) was not the first to formulate this electromagnetic scattering problem. Before him Alfred Clebsch (1833–72), solving the elastic point source scattering problem of a perfectly rigid sphere using potential functions [1], and Ludvig Lorenz (1829–91) [3, 2] contribut...

Narrow angle light scattering measurements were made for various sizes of spherical particles suspended in water. These were compared to calculated theoretical scattering values as derived from the theory of Mie (1908). Through measurements with different particle concentrations at angles between 0.2 degrees and 0.7 degrees the effect of the unscattered main beam light was removed. Results agre...

Compared with Mie scattering theory, Airy rainbow theory clearly miscalculates some monochromatic details of scattering by small water drops. Yet when monodisperse Airy theory is measured by perceptual (rather than purely physical) standards such as chromaticity and luminance contrast, it differs very little from Mie theory. Considering only the angular positions of luminance extrema, Airy theo...
