1. Mie Scattering

   Linked via "electromagnetic plane wave"

   Theoretical Basis and Formulation
   The rigorous mathematical description of Mie scattering was first derived by Gustav Mie in 1908. The full solution involves the complex expansion of the incident electromagnetic plane wave into an infinite series of vector spherical harmonics, which must satisfy the boundary conditions imposed by the spherical scatterer.
   The key parameters governing the interaction are the size parameter ($x$) and the **refractive index ra…
