13. The incident fields are Induced dipole moments (p and m) radiate energy in all directions. The scattered (radiated) fields (in the direction n) are (Eq 10.2)

14. The differential cross section = power radiated per unit solid angle, per unit incident flux Rayleigh ’ s law: universal characteristic of the of the long wave length scattering by any finite system (dipole scattering)

15. Scattering by a small dielectric sphere of radius a The electric dipole moment is (4.56) at p158 So the differential cross section

16. The incident wave is unpolarized, the parallel and perpendicular components (w.r.t. the scattering plane) are The polarization, differential and total scattering cross section are (see Fig 10.2 at p459)

17. Scattering by a small perfectly conducting sphere of radius a The electric dipole moment is (see section 2.5 at p64) So the differential cross section

18. The differential cross section and polarization The cross section has a strong backward peaking caused by electric dipole -- magnetic dipole interference. The polarization reaches 1 at 60 degrees and is positive through the whole angular range.

24. The total cross section For dilute gases In traversing a thickness dx of the gases, the fractional loss of flux is so the beam intensity is with absorption or attenuation coefficient

25. Discussion (p467) 1. Light received away from the incident beam is more heavily weighted in high-frequency (blue) components than the spectral distribution of the incident beam 2. Transmitted beam becomes increasingly red in its spectral composition, as well as diminishing in overall intensity 3. The blueness of the sky, the redness of the sunset, the waneness of the winter sun, and the ease of sunburning at midday in summer 4.
