Computation of the internal field of a large spherical particle by use of the geometrical-optics approximation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We obtain the internal electric field of an illuminated liquid droplet using geometrical optics. The approximation includes the phase effects of various components. We compare the geometrical-optics solution with the Mie theory solution for a nonabsorbing particle with a size parameter of α = 500 and an index of refraction of n = 1.332.
