Foreword

Examining the general subject of light scattering is like examining a gemstone having many facets. As a result, when people talk about light scattering they can mean any one of many things. Light can be scattered by individual particles of high symmetry (Lorenz–Mie theory or LMT) ranging in size from a small fraction of the wavelength of light (Rayleigh scattering) to many thousands of wavelengths (semiclassical scattering and ray theory), or by irregularly shape
