21. These optical modes are confined by continuous total internal reflection at the dielectric air interface and are often referred to as whispering-gallery modes. This description originated from the "problem of the whispering-gallery" which Lord Rayleigh published in 1912, Scientific Papers 5:617, describing the phenomenon of acoustical waves he had observed propagating around the interior gallery of Saint Paul's Cathedral. Anyhow, Maxwell equations can be solved exactly for the spherical scatterer: G. Mie, Ann. Phys. ANPYA2 0003-3804 10.1002/andp.19083300302 25, 377 (1908).
