  1. ; (, Journal of the Optical Society of America A)
    The scattered intensity from large spheres with a real part of the refractive index of n = 1.33 , 1.5 , 2.0 is investigated as the radius R and an imaginary part of the refractive index κ<#comment/> are varied. It is shown that the product of κ<#comment/> and the size parameter k R , 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 that κ<#comment/> kR is 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 as κ<#comment/> kR increases.
