Electromagnetic Scattering from Sphere: Mie Theory

Öz

Mie Theory sets basis for more advanced applications in scattering by presenting an analytical solution for electromagnetic waves that scatters from arbitrarily selected spheres. This study presents the theoretical analysis in detail. MATLAB scripts are developed according to the theory and examples are given for validations.
