Abstract
Numerical results for the backscattering cross section for large dielectric spheres of relative index of refraction 1.6 are presented in graphical form for values of ka from 5 to 20. For this particular range, the backscattering expressions, which are obtained after a Watson transformation, show that surface waves rather than the geometrical optics fields dominate. The agreement with the exact Mie series is excellent.
