Backscattering from an Absorbent Sphere.

Abstract

This letter presents a series of curves for the backscattering cross section of an adsorbent sphere. The surface of the sphere is assumed to be one of the local reaction of point impedance, z, or of specific admittance, beta. The normalized backscattering cross section is given as a function of ka ranging from 0.2 to 21 and for beta ranging from 0 to infinity. (Author)
