The Fredholm integral equation method (FIM) is one of the solutions to the soattering of electromagnetic radiation by homogeneous and isotropio ellipsoidal particles. Some numerical calculations are performed with the FIM. The results for spherical particles are compared with those by the Mie theory. It is confirmed that the agreement between them is satisfactory for all the models calculated.

On the basis of the present method, we examine profiles of the absorption band around »= 10 μm for spherical and ellipsoidal particles composed of crystalline olivine. It is found that the profile strongly depends on the shape of the particle. Even when the particle is moderately elongated (axial ratios are 2: √2:1), the profile is Signifioantly different from that for a sphere.
