Mie Theory 0
Mie Theory is a powerful mathematical framework used to describe the scattering of electromagnetic waves by spherical particles, which is crucial in understanding phenomena such as the color of the sky and the appearance of colloidal suspensions. It extends the simpler Rayleigh scattering model by accounting for particles comparable in size to the wavelength of light, allowing for more accurate predictions of scattering patterns and intensities in various scientific and engineering applications.
