Single scattering albedo |
Single scattering albedo - the ratio of scattering efficiency to total light extinction (which is also termed "attenuance", a sum of scattering and absorption). Most often it is defined for small-particle scattering of electromagnetic waves.
For spherical particles one can calculate single scattering albedo from Mie theory and knowledge of bulk properties of material such as refractive index. For non-spherical particles one could use discrete dipole approximation or other methods of computational electromagnetics.
