scattering of light by light
1Scattering — is a general physical process where some forms of radiation, such as light, sound, or moving particles, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by one or more localized non uniformities in the medium through which they pass. In… …
2Light scattering by particles — part of computational electromagnetics dealing with single particle scattering, single scattering albedo, and absorption of electromagnetic radiation.Maxwell s equations are the the basis of theoretical and computational methods. In case of… …
3light — light1 lightful, adj. lightfully, adv. /luyt/, n., adj., lighter, lightest, v., lighted or lit, lighting. n. 1. something that makes things visible or affords illumination: All colors depend on light. 2. Physics …
4Scattering cross-section — The scattering cross section, sigma; scat, relates the scattering of light or other radiation to the number of particles present. In terms of area, the total cross section ( sigma;) is the sum of the cross sections due to absorption, scattering… …
5Light pollution — This article is about light pollution in the visible spectrum. For information on pollution in the radio spectrum, see radio spectrum pollution. This time exposure photo of New York City at night shows skyglow, one form of light pollution …
6Scattering theory — Top: the real part of a plane wave travelling upwards. Bottom: The real part of the field after inserting in the path of the plane wave a small transparent disk of index of refraction higher than the index of the surrounding medium. This object… …
7light scattering — Particles suspended in a solution will cause scattering of light, and the extent of the scattering is related to the size and shape of the particles (in a somewhat complex relationship) …
8Light field — The light field is a function that describes the amount of light traveling in every direction through every point in space. Michael Faraday was the first to propose (in an 1846 lecture entitled Thoughts on Ray Vibrations ) that light should be… …
9Light beam — A light beam or beam of light is a narrow projection of light energy radiating from a source into a beam. Sunlight is a natural example of a light beam when filtered through various mediums (clouds, foliage, windows, etc). To artificially produce …
10light-scattering photometry — noun any optical method used to measure the extent of the scattering of light by suspended particles or by macromolecules …
