- Abstract
- The most important characteristic which determines the light-scattering behavior of particles is their size distribution, their concentration, their shape, and their material composition. This paper concerns itself with the measurement of the effects of shape on light-scattering behavior. Only a few shapes have been appropriately modeled and if the shape dependence can be determined, the remaining characteristics pose no special difficulties.
