Popis: Previously, correlation transfer (CT) theory was developed with the ability to handle dynamic light scattering measurements from single scattering to highly multiple scattering. Because of the lengthy computational time required to obtain exact results for the CT equation, the modified P N approximation has been applied to handle any order of Legendre approximation. Herein, numerical solutions of the modified P N approximation are given for backscattering and transmission at optical thicknesses of 1, 5, 10, and 25. Fresnel reflective boundaries with a collimated incident laser beam have been used to provide results to compare with exact solutions. The significantly reduced computational time and reasonable agreement with the exact solution make this approximation an effective technique for quickly obtaining CT equation solutions.
