Popis: The similarity between the light-scattering pattern of a particle in the near-forward direction and diffraction from the particle’s silhouette is investigated. Images of irregularly shaped free-flowing aerosol particles are obtained from digital hologram measurements, which are then binarized to yield a silhouette. Application of Huygens’s principle to the silhouette generates an approximate scattering pattern, which when compared to the true measured pattern shows good agreement for particles much larger than the wavelength of light.
