Mishchenko, M.I., 2006: Far-field approximation in electromagnetic scattering. J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer, 100, 268-276, doi:10.1016/j.jqsrt.2005.11.044.

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.
