Three approximate solutions for light scattering and absorption by agglomerated or arbitrarily-shaped particles have been investigated by comparing both their solution formulas and numerical results. The Maxwell-Garnett relation has been shown to be an accurate optical mixing rule for light scattering by inhomogeneous particles. It is found that randomly-oriented, chain-like agglomerates of small particles, such as flame soot particles and other colloidal aggregates, have unique scattering characteristics. The extinction is roughly the same, whereas total and near-forward angular scattering are N times higher when comparing an agglomerate with the same number of individual spheres. Even randomly oriented, these chain-like agglomerates cannot be modeled by equivalent spheres, and they yield significant depolarized scattering.
