Calculate the efficiencies for a sphere where m or x may be arrays.

Parameters

  • m – the complex index of refraction of the sphere

  • x – the size parameter of the sphere

Returns

  • qext – the total extinction efficiency

  • qsca – the scattering efficiency

  • qback – the backscatter efficiency

  • g – the average cosine of the scattering phase function
