Rayleigh scattering
Rayleigh scattering ( RAY-lee), named after the 19th-century British physicist Lord Rayleigh (John William Strutt), is the predominantly elastic scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation. For light frequencies well below the resonance frequency of the scattering particle (normal dispersion regime), the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength.
Rayleigh scattering - Wikipedia Jump to content From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Light scattering by small particles This article is about the optical phenomenon. For the magnetic phenomenon, see Rayleigh law . For the stochastic distribution, see Rayleigh distribution . For the wireless communication effect, see Rayleigh fading . Rayleigh scattering causes the blue color of the sky at large angles to the direction of solar rays and yellow or orange colors for light from the direction of the Sun. [ 1 ] Rayleigh scattering ( / ˈ r eɪ l i / RAY -lee ) is the scattering or deflection of ligh
