Elastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation: analytic solutions in diverse backgrounds

The technique of elastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation has been used as a diagnostic tool in various disciplines of science, engineering, medicine and agriculture.

The investigations relating to above problems may be divided in three categories: scattering by a single particle; scattering by a tenuous system of uncorrelated scatterers; and scattering by a concentrated dispersion of scatterers.

In this book, the primary effort is to examine the analytic solutions of the scattering problems of the first two types in diverse backgrounds.

For the completeness of the book, analytic solutions in scattering situations of the third type are also covered in reasonable details.
