Title: Theoretical Investigations on the Light Scattering of Spheres. XV. The Wavelength Exponents at Small α Values
Abstract: Both theoretical and empirical expressions are derived for the wavelength exponent of lateral scattering and turbidity expected for isotropic nonabsorbing spheres which are small compared to the wavelength (α≤1.5). Use of these equations eliminates the need of interpolations between Mie data previously given or the computation of Mie data for small α values not considered before (α<0.4). The data cover all m values≤1.33. Reasons are given for their prospective usefulness in investigating spherical or quasispherical scattering bodies of unknown low concentration located at large distances from the observer.
