摘要
The optical analogue of a formula by Reading and Bassichis for the backscattering of a high-energy scalar wave by a square-well potential has been examined. In optical scattering, this corresponds to the problem of the back-scattering of light by a homogeneous spherical particle. Numerical checks with the Mie theory are presented for various values of the refractive index and size parameter. The formula is found to reproduce some scattering features extremely well for intermediate-size soft particles.
