 Scattering of monochromatic light by a homogeneous dielectric sphere is a traditional problem in the area of light-matter interaction. It has numerous applications,​ e.g. in aerosols measurements in environmental studies. Scattering of monochromatic light by a homogeneous dielectric sphere is a traditional problem in the area of light-matter interaction.
