Some examples of exact and approximate solutions in small particle scattering - A progress reportThe formulation of basic equations from which the scattering of radiation by a localized variation in a medium is discussed. These equations are developed in both the differential and the integral form. Primary interest is in the scattering of electromagnetic waves for which the solution of the vector wave equation with appropriate boundary conditions must be considered. Scalar scattering by an infinite homogeneous isotropic circular cylinder, and scattering of electromagnetic waves by infinite circular cylinders are treated, and the case of the finite circular cylinder is considered. A procedure is given for obtaining angular scattering distributions from spheroids.
