  • Abstract
    Light scattering experiments have been performed using as sources a continuous-wave He-Ne gas laser radiating at 6328 Å and a high-pressure xenon arc lamp, which was limited to a 100-Å bandwidth centered at 6328 Å. Both sources were used to determine, us a function of scattering angle, the intensity of light scattered by latex spheres ranging in diameters from 0.088 to 3.49 \\mu . It was found that for the four particle sizes studied, the results agree to within the possible experimental error of 20 percent and \\pm 1\\deg .
