Abstract:
Exact calculations of two first elements of scattering phase matrix for a homogeneous water particle with the radius of 0,5 mm and for a polydisperse ensemble of spherical particles (Deirmendjian's cloud model C.6) using Mie theory formulas are made. The calculations were made for violet, dark-blue, light-blue, green, Yellow-green, orange, red and purple colours of visible radiation. Spectral distributions of scattering phase functions in the region of primary (the 136°-142° scattering angles) and secondary (124°-130°) rainbows are given.
