Electromagnetic scattering by a dielectric sphere in a diverging radiation field

Abstract
The scattering of divergent electromagnetic radiation by a dielectric sphere is obtained by assuming that the radiation emanates from an oscillating dipole located an appropriate distance outside of the sphere. The field differs considerably from the case of parallel incident radiation when the dipole is within about ten particle radii, an effect which may be significant for multiple scattering in dense particulate systems.
