Scattering

-Scattering by refraction (reflection+transmission) + Absorption (bandgap, HOMO..)
-Geometric scattering (Snell’s law, reflection law..)
-Color dispersion by prism ->Refractive index difference by wavelength

Wave can affect scattering..
Thin film interefence can occur when the thickness of layer = a*wavelength
a=1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, 5/2 …
Then how about the prism has the similar size to wavelength? Or less than wavelength?

Textile, MIE scattering? Optical scattering? Rayleigh scattering?
If we want to have high scattering efficiency on 1000 nm, then which diameter for fibers?
Rayleigh scattering
Helmhotz equation
Textile structure
Mie scattering
Qext=Qscat+Qabs
These can be calculated with the simulations.
