In this paper in a framework of classical electrodynamics, we re-derived in a simple way the formula for the light scattering by moving particle with arbitrary angle of collision.
The traditional optical concept for the object does not provide an experimental feasibility to speak for itself, due to the fact that no measuring instrument catches up with the fluctuation of light fields. Using the theory of coherence, we…
