Abstract

Basic scattering functions were used in a novel calculation of the turbidity ratios for particles having the relative refractive index m = 1.001, 1.005 (0.005) 1.315 and the size α = 0.05 (0.05) 6.00 (0.10) 15.00 (0.50) 70.00 (1.00) 100, where α = πL/λ, L is the diameter of the spherical particle, λ = Λ/μ₁ is the wavelength of light in a medium with the refractive index μ₁ and Λ is the wavelength of light in vacuo. The data are tabulated for the wavelength λ = 546.1/μ_w = 409.357 nm, where μ_w is the refractive index of water. A procedure has been suggested how to extend the applicability of Tables to various refractive indices of the medium and to various turbidity ratios τ_a/τ_b obtained with the individual pairs of wavelengths λ_a and λ_b. The selection of these pairs is bound to the sequence condition λ^a = λ₀χ^a and λ_b = λ₀χ^b, in which b-a = δ = 1, 2, 3; a = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ..., b = a + δ = -1, 0, 1, 2, ...; λ₀ = λ_a=0 = 326.675 nm; χ = 546.1 : 435.8 = 1.2531 is the quotient of the given sequence.
