	Blue Sky and Rayleigh Scattering
		Therefore the light scattered down to the earth at a large angle with respect to the direction of the sun's light is predominantly in the blue end of the spectrum.
		Scattering in which the scattered photons have either a higher or lower photon energy is called Raman scattering.
		Mie scattering is not strongly wavelength dependent and produces the almost white glare around the sun when a lot of particulate material is present in the air.

	Scattering
		Scattering experiments were rare in physics before quantum mechanics, except perhaps in relation to the scattering of light by colloids and density fluctuations.
		After quantum mechanics, scattering experiments became the principal method for the study of atoms, molecules and nuclei, since the properties of the scattering system were reflected in the scattering process.
		At first sight, the scattering problem would appear to be a very difficult time-dependent problem involving the coordinates of two particles that initially are separated wave packets, then they move into the same region and interact, and finally separate into two wave packets moving relatively in a new direction.

		Scattering by free electrons was the dominant source of opacity in the early universe.
		Brillouin scattering (2 facts) - Slight changes in the frequency of radiation, caused by reflection or scattering from the high-frequency sound waves that arise from thermal vibrations of atoms in the medium.
		The energy of the scattered photon is the same (in the rest frame of the atom) as that of the incident photon.

	Rayleigh Scattering
		The scattering of light by gases was first treated quantitatively by Lord Rayleigh in 1871 in an effort to explain the blue colour of the sky and the red colour of the sunset.
		Rayleigh scattering theory is applicable to scattering of UV and visible radiation by air molecules, infra-red radiation by small aerosols, and microwave radiation by cloud and rain drops.

	Scattering Summary (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Scattering is a general physical process whereby some form of radiation, such as light, sound, or moving particles, is forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by one or more localized non-uniformities in the medium through which it passes.
		Light scattering can also give color to some objects, usually shades of blue (as with the sky, the human iris, and the feathers of some birds), but resonant light scattering in nanoparticles can produce different highly saturated and vibrant hues, especially when surface plasmon resonance is involved.
		Rayleigh scattering is a process in which electromagnetic radiation (including light) is scattered by a small spherical volume of variant refractive index, such as a particle, bubble, droplet, or even a density fluctuation.

	AMS Glossary
		Sometimes scattering is applied in a restricted sense to that radiation not accounted for by the laws of specular reflection and refraction, which are approximate because matter is not continuous on all scales.
		Often the term scattered radiation is applied to that radiation observed in directions other than that of the source and may also be applied to acoustic and other waves.
		Scattering is also applied to any interaction between particles that results in a change in direction.

	Light Scattering (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Note also that the amount of light scattered varies inversely as the fourth power of the light wavelength, showing that blue light (of wavelength ~400 nm) is scattered about 5 times more effectively as red light (of wavelength ~600 nm), giving Rayleigh the credit for quantitatively explaining the blue sky and the red sunrise/sunset.
		That there should be scattering from a transparent liquid was not understood until the early part of this century when the German scientist Einstein and the Russian scientist Smoluchovski (working independently) used thermodynamic arguments to explain both the scattering from the liquid solvent and the excess scattering upon the addition of polymer as a solute.
		The interpretation of this is that the scattering from the PVP molecules is enhanced by aggregating SDS (thus increasing the molecular weight of the molecule) until the molecules are saturated (quite literally have no more room), at which point the scattering saturates.

	Scattering and Form Factors
		Consider the scattering of an electron by a nucleus, as discussed in the Nuclear Physics course in the determination of nuclear size.
		At low energies, the centre of mass frame is almost the same as the laboratory frame, since the mass of the electron is very much less than that of the nucleus.
		NOTE: The Fourier relationship between scattered amplitude and spatial distribution of the scatterer is general, e.g.

	Dynamic Light Scattering
		Dynamic light scattering (DLS) theory is a well established technique for measuring particle size over the size range from a few nanometers to a few microns.
		It is this difference in the frequency of the scattered light among particles of different sizes that is used to determine the sizes of the particles present.
		The constant g appears as a particle characteristic frequency of the response and is a function of the wavelength, l, scatter angle, q, and the diffusion coefficient, D. The diffusion coefficient, D, is a value that describes the movement of a particle in suspension relative to other particle sizes.

	Atmospheric Scattering
		Scattering is the process by which "small particles suspended in a medium of a different index of refraction diffuse a portion of the incident radiation in all directions." With scattering, there is no energy transformation, but a change in the spatial distribution of the energy.
		If it was not for scattering, we would not be able to see shadowed objects such as walnuts that have fallen on the ground under the shading of a tree.
		Mie scattering is caused by pollen, dust, smoke, water droplets, and other particles in the lower portion of the atmosphere.

	Compton scattering Summary
		Compton scattering is of prime importance to radiobiology, as it happens to be the most probable interaction of high energy X rays with atomic nuclei in living beings and is applied in radiation therapy.
		Compton scattering has on occasion been proposed as an alternative explanation for the phenomenon of the redshift by opponents of the Big Bang theory, although this is not generally accepted because the influence of the Compton scattering would be noticeable in the spectral lines of distant objects and this is not observed.
		Compton Scatter is an important effect in Gamma spectroscopy, as it is possible for the gamma rays to scatter out of the detectors used.

	Laser Light Scattering - Precision Detectors Inc.
		In brief, the light intensity scattered by a macromolecule in solution that is small compared with the wavelength of the incident laser beam is proportional to the concentration (c) multiplied by the molecular weight (Mw).
		When a Rayleigh light scattering detector is used with a GPC/SEC system, the concentration of the sample in solution eluting from the light scattering detector can be measured by a concentration detector (typically a refractive index detector or a UV detector) in series with it in the eluting mobile phase stream.
		In dynamic light scattering detection, the diffusion constant of the molecules moving randomly in the solution is calculated from the autocorrelation function of the scattered light.

	Rutherford Scattering
		Nevertheless, the relation between large angle scattering and the size of the positive sphere is clear from the model.
		Rutherford correctly deduced that in the large angle scattering, which corresponded to closer approach to the nucleus, the alpha was actually hitting the nucleus.
		Scattering from heavy nuclei was fully accounted for by the electrostatic repulsion, so Rutherford concentrated on light nuclei, including hydrogen and nitrogen.

	Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS)
		Scattering laws in the small angle regime describe two main features that are observed in a log Intensity versus log q plot.
		All scattering patterns in the small-angle regime reflect a decay of intensity in q and this can be easily described by considering that at decreasing size scales the number of electrons in a particle is proportional to the decreasing volume, while the number of such particles increases with 1/volume.
		Consider that scattering from a rod is observed at "r" = 1/q between the rod length, L, and the rod diameter, D. Then the number of scattering elements in the rod of size "r" is equal to L/r or Lq.
