Scattering Properties of LCPCs

The total induced dipole moment in the volume element is given by 

We define the coordinate for the incident hght in such a way that the z axis is parahel to the 

As an example, let us first consider the scattering of an isotropic spherical droplet with the refractive index n and radius a. a = 

The first integral is zero, = ( - 1) = (n -1). The medium outside the droplet is also isotropic with the refractive index n. ao , = o(n -l). Hence
