About this exercise type...Mie scattering occurs with particles the diameter of which
| — | is approximately equal to |
| — | is much larger than |
| — | is about one-tenth |
| — | is about ten times |
the wavelength of the incident radiation.
Mie scattering
| — | does not affect |
| — | decreases |
| — | increases |
the wavelength of the incident radiation.
Mie scattering
| — | changes |
| — | does not change |
| — | reduces |
| — | increases |
the energy of the incident radiation.
It is therefore a type of
| — | elastic |
| — | inelastic |
scattering.
In general, Mie scattering
| — | is strongly |
| — | is not |
| — | is only weakly |
polarizing.
The amount of Mie scattering that takes place
| — | is strongly |
| — | is only weakly |
| — | is not |
dependent on the wavelength of the incident radiation.
Incident light is scattered
| — | principally in the forward direction. |
| — | equally in all directions. |
| — | sideways to the incident direction. |
| — | principally in the rearward direction. |
Select the phase function diagram that best represents Mie scattering:
In Mie scattering, as particle size increases
| — | forward scattering increases. |
| — | forward scattering decreases. |
| — | sideways scattering increases. |
| — | the distribution of scattered radiation remains constant. |
