Work your way through an argument using dimensional analysis to establish the λ-4 dependence of the percentage of light scattered in Ilayleigh Scattering. Let E0i and E0s be the incident and scattered amplitudes, the latter at a distance r from the scatterer. Assume E0s cc E0i and E0s α 1/r. Furthermore, plausibly assume that the scattered amplitude is proportional to the volume, V, of the scatterer; within limits this is reasonable. Determine the units of the constant of proportionality.
