Popis: | The scattering of polarized light from a collection of dielectric spheres with model disorder in the particle dimensions is derived in the first Born approximation. The paper is intended as a brief pedagogical review of some of the essential physics behind static light scattering from complex fluids, and attempts to elucidate the natural emergence of the statistical‐structure and form factors while emphasizing the role of polydispersity in the particle size. The criterion for the convergence of the Born series is examined. The problem is cast in the language of Fourier transforms and correlation functions at a level that should be accessible to advanced undergraduates. |
