Mien.

Brit.

/miː/, U.S.

/mi/

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Mie.

Etymology: < the name of Gustav Mie (1868–1957), German physicist, who first published his theory of light-scattering in 1908 ( Ann. der Physik 25 377).

Physics.

attributive and in the genitive. Designating concepts and phenomena described by Mie or arising from his work, esp. in relation to the scattering of light; Mie scattering n. the scattering of light by particles whose size is comparable to the wavelength of the light; cf. Rayleigh scattering n. at Rayleigh n.¹ 5a. Mie theory n. (also Mie's theory) the theory of Mie scattering.
