SINOPSIS
The impact of particle shape on how scattering depends on the refractive index m is studied. The goal is to find out whether spherical model particles provide an accurate estimate for the m-dependence of scattering by nonspherical particles. The results indicate that this is very unlikely especially when small m intervals are considered.
