Note: Such a phenomenon can't be described by the Mie equation because it doesn't describe the optical properties of material with high particle volume fractions. Recently, an effort was made to study the thin films of gold and explanations were offered using the Maxwell-Garnett model [13].

Ophthalmia neonatorum is a form of bacterial conjunctivitis contracted by newborn babies. A number of bacteria found in the mother's birth canal contaminate the baby's eye during the time of birth; e.g., Neisseria gonorrhea, Chlamydia trachomatis. Later, the use of silver nitrate was abolished as it was found that silver nitrate acts as a chemical irritant leading to conjuctivitis.

The Hamaker constant is utilized for describing the van der Waals interaction between a pair of bodies. The magnitude of the Hamaker constant reflects the strength of the van der Waals interaction. The originally developed Hamaker's method ignores the influence of an intervening medium between the two particles of interaction. In a simplistic model of two interacting spheres (radius: a1, a2) separated by a distance d, the van der Waals potential=−(AH/6d)(a1a2/ (a1+a2)). Further research has incorporated the dependence of Hamaker constant to the dielectric constant of the medium. Further details: H.C. Hamaker, Physica, 4(1937) 1058.
