Scattering by a Sphere: Mie Series Solution and Backscattered Field - Prof. David Jackson, Study notes of Electrical and Electronics Engineering

An in-depth analysis of scattering by a sphere using the mie series solution. It covers the theory behind the solution, the backscattered field representation, and the behavior of the legendre functions. The document also includes formulas for evaluating the bessel functions and the total field.
