  1. The scattered intensity from large spheres with a real part of the refractive index ofn=1.33,1.5,2.0is investigated as the radiusRand an imaginary part of the refractive indexκ<#comment/>are varied. It is shown that the product ofκ<#comment/>and the size parameterkR,κ<#comment/>kR, is a universal parameter describing the quenching of the refraction phenomenon of the scattered light: the refraction hump, the generalized rainbows, and the glory. The physical reason for this is thatκ<#comment/>kRis the inverse of the relative skin depth of light penetration into the sphere, which is demonstrated by calculations of the internal fields that darken universally asκ<#comment/>kRincreases.
