Mie scattering is a type of light scattering that occurs when light interacts with particles that are roughly the same size as the wavelength of the light. It is named after the German physicist Gustav Mie, who developed a mathematical solution to describe the scattering of electromagnetic waves by spherical particles. Mie scattering differs from Rayleigh scattering, which occurs with smaller particles (much smaller than the wavelength of light) and is responsible for phenomena like the blue color of the sky.
