Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Particles
42 | COMSOL NEWS | 2014 MIE SCATTERING | COMPUTATIONAL ELECTROMAGNETICS AltaSim Technologies, OH, USA As electromagnetic waves propagate through matter they interact with particles or inhomogeneities that perturb the local electron distribution. This variation produces periodic charge separation within the particle, causing oscillation of the induced local dipole moment. This periodic acceleration acts as a source of electr
