Abstract
Abstract While using the standard Mie formulae to calculate the intensity distribution of light scattered by a small dielectric sphere, we have noticed some new qualitative results which suggest a boundary between a scattering regime qualitatively similar to the well known Rayleigh scattering distribution and that observed for rather larger particles. This may be of practical use when considering the position of photodetectors in light scattering experiments, for example particle velocimetry. The reason for such a transition has been discovered, using an unusual approximation in which the diameter of a sphere is made very small and its refractive index very large, with their product and the wavelength held constant.
