How Does Mie Scattering Differ from Rayleigh and Tyndall Scattering?
While Rayleigh scattering is effective for particles much smaller than the wavelength of light and Tyndall scattering describes the scattering by larger colloidal particles, Mie scattering fills the gap for particles that are comparable in size to the wavelength. This makes Mie scattering uniquely suited for studying nanoparticles that are often in the range of tens to hundreds of nanometers.
