Rayleigh s Equations Definition of Reduced Intensity and Turbidity. 

1 There is of course a magnetic as well as an electric component in any electromagnetic wave, but the effects of the magnetic field are negligible as compared to those of the electric field with respect to the phenomena which we are considering. 

Here b is the distance from the center of scattering to the observer in the direction under consideration. If the plane defined by the light 

The forward direction of the incident beam of unpolarized light is indicated by the arrow. The 

1 In the following discussion we shall use the term vertically polarized to describe plane polarized light in which the plane of vibration of the electric vector is vertical,
