Scattering and absorption of light

FIGURE 9.17 Individual contributions of scattering and absorption of light at 550 nm by gases and particles in Pasadena, California, during the summer of f984 (adapted from Larson and Cass, f989). 

Based on their measurements of North African dust transported to the Barbados, Li et al. (1996) estimate that over a 10-year period, dust contributed about 56% of the total light scattering. Similarly, Tegen et al. (1997) estimate using a global transport model that scattering and absorption of light by submicron soil...

Mie theory can serve as the basis of a computational procedure to calculate the scattering and absorption of light by any sphere as a function of wavelength (Bohren and Huffman 1983). There are, in addition, approximate expressions, valid in certain limiting cases, that provide insight into the physics of the problem. On the basis of the a value, light scattering can be divided into three domains ... 

The absorption and elastic scattering of light by a spherical particle is a classical problem in physics, the mathematical formalism of which is called Mie theory (sometimes also Mie-Debye-Lorenz theory). It is a beautiful and elegant theory, which is the subject of entire treatises. In particular, we refer the reader to Kerker (1969) and Bohren and Huffman (1983). The key parameters that govern the scattering and absorption of light by a particle... 

Method of Calculation. The equations provide a aethod of estiaating the aagnitude of the fluxes at a position x within a layer and the aaount of light absorbed by a section at that position. The effect of initiator concentration ( via K), substrate reflectance (Rg), total layer thickness (L) and the scattering and absorption of light by pigaents ( K and S ) aay all be siaulated by the aodel.
