Absorption and scattering of light by small particles Craig F. Bohren, Donald R. Huffman
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons

If the scatterer's size is significant compared to the wavelength of the light being scattered, the shape of the scatterer becomes important too. Mermin: Solid State Physics (Harcourt College Publishers, Orlando, FL, 1976) p. Huffman: Absorption and Scattering of Light by Small Particles (Wiley, New York, 1983) p. But they don't scatter light equally. Small particles in the atmosphere scattering light cause both sunsets and sunrises to be red. But, what is the zodiacal light? Scattering in tissue is the main reason tissue is not transparent; absorption also plays a role but much less so. That's because injecting sulfate .. Depending on the size of the particle, they might scatter blue light differently than red light." It is that scattering effect that would But it could be a boon to plants, which showed a small but measurable uptick in growth in the months after Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991. Pollution particles increase the effect by scattering or absorbing more blue light than red light. When the Sun is just below the horizon, we can see a ghostly glowing pyramid. Perfusing tissue with a substance to match Scattering in tissue is dominated by Mie scattering which is the scattering of light by particles of a size on the same order as the wavelength of light (Rayleigh scattering is for particles much smaller than the wavelength): cells, nuclei, and organelles all fit in this category.
