Abstract
The volume integral equation formalism is used to derive and analyze specific criteria of applicability of the far-field approximation in electromagnetic scattering by a finite three-dimensional object. In the case of wavelength-sized and larger objects, this analysis leads to a natural subdivision of the entire external space into a near-field zone, a transition zone, and a far-field zone. It is demonstrated that the general criteria of far-field scattering are consistent with the theory and practice of T-matrix computations.
