Rayleigh Scattering
Introduction Rayleigh scattering, named after the British physicist Lord Rayleigh, is a type of scattering that occurs when the size of the particles or the wavelength of the light makes the scattering medium or obstacles irrelevant. It is most commonly used to explain why the sky appears blue. The Principle of Rayleigh Scattering Rayleigh scattering…

Scattering Theory
Introduction Scattering theory is a framework in physics that is used to study and understand the interactions of particles and fields. It is especially important in quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and particle physics, as well as in classical wave phenomena like light scattering. Basic Principle Scattering involves an incident wave or particle that is…
