21. The dipole limit is the size range where the nano-particle is small in comparison to the wavelength of light, such that the electromagnetic field across the extent of the nanoparticle can be assumed to be uniform. In this limit, retardation effects of the electromagnetic fields can be neglected, and the electromagnetic interactions can be described by the electrostatic limit of Maxwell's equations.
22. In the dipole limit (21), the interaction results in plasmon modes that repel each other, i.e., a symmetric splitting.
