dc.description.abstract	The asymmetry parameter of the scattering diagram and the efficiency for radiation pressure for scattering by a very large dielectric sphere conforming to geometrical optics and diffraction, have been investigated beyond the limit of existing literature. A new feature of shallow broad extremum (resonance) has been found in the asymmetry parameter as well as in the radiation pressure both as function of the index of refraction.	en
