In case the context, which this question is based needs to be provided, the context follows. A sub-project was being done on using sphere or hemisphere "scatterers" on TFSC (Thin-Film Solar Cells). These "scatterers" can be applied on the top of a TFSC in order so that the solar cells can direct light waves in a flatter "cone" after interaction, hence allowing the solar cells to be made thinner, and hence cheaper.
Now, back to the original question. Which shape might scatters light (regular solar light, centered around ~500 nm) better, according to classical Electrodynamics (and maybe some intuition), a sphere or a hemisphere? (Although, I suppose it might be harder for spherical "scatterers" to be "applied" to a TFSC than a hemispherical "scatterers".)
