The exact series solution for the scattering of a plane wave by a soft spheroid is used to obtain explicit long-wavelength approximations. The farfield scattering amplitude is given to the sixth power of the frequency and the near field is given to the second power. The results are valid for prolate and oblate spheroids and arbitrary angles of incidence and observation.
