where I is the UV-A light intensity (1 mW x [cm.sup.-2]), [A.sub.r] is the illuminated surface area (18.49 [cm.sup.2]), [lambda] is the average illumination wavelength (350 nm), NA denotes Avogadro number; h denotes Planck constant; and c denotes light velocity.
where A is the molecular weight, t is the mass per unit area of the scatterer, and N is the Avogadro number. Equation (4) was used to find the integrated scattering cross sections between 0[degrees] and the corresponding angle, [theta], subtended by the detector with respect to the scatterer at position P2.
