Scattering refers to the physical process in which particles, waves, or radiation (such as light, sound, or subatomic particles) deviate from a straight trajectory due to irregularities or interactions with other particles, surfaces, or fields. In the context of light: Light scattering is the phenomenon where light rays change direction due to interaction with small particles or fluctuations in a medium. It is a fundamental concept in optics and is used in many imaging and diagnostic techniques. Types of light scattering include: Rayleigh scattering – occurs when particles are much smaller than the wavelength of light; explains why the sky is blue. Mie scattering – occurs when particles are about the same size as the wavelength; relevant in fog or biological tissue. Tyndall effect – visible scattering of light by colloidal particles in a solution. Raman scattering – inelastic scattering where light changes energy, useful in chemical analysis. In biomedical imaging, scattering helps in: Visualizing tissue structure Tracking nanoparticles Analyzing cells without labels scattering.txt Last modified: 2025/05/23 04:36by administrador
