Abstract
The possibility of allowance for scattering in the description of the dielectric constant of a natural medium using the dynamic polarizability of the spherical particles of which the medium is composed is analyzed. It is shown that the proposed approach is also suitable for multicomponent mixtures. A model of the dielectric properties of wet snow is considered as an example. It is shown that when the effects of scattering and the spatial distrubution of the moisture in the snow are taken into account, there is agreement between the experimental and theoretical dependences of the dielectric constant of wet snow.
