The Ramanathan scattering of light is the phenomen of visible light scaterring into the 7 different invisible colours of light, when it comes in contact with water, the water sufficing as a glass spectrum to diffract the light into the colours.
This phenomenon takes place naturally after rain as the rainbow appears.
What else can I help you with?
What is the scattering of light caused by small suspended particles.?
tyndall effect
Which is associated with weak light rays that travel in different directions?
scattering
Can light be reflected?
The reflection of light occurs when an electromagnetic wave (light) is absorbed by an electron (particle) which gains kinetic energy (speed) and then releases its energy in the form of light. This effect can be explained classically by Thomson scattering and more recently Compton scattering. Some light is not reemitted due to resonance and retention of kinetic energy by the electron resulting in absorption. If the absorption is at a certain wavelength, the reflected light appears to be a certain color. Mirrors are able to create an image because they have a very smooth surface. This enables the surface to reflect light uniformly as opposed to scattering it in all directions like most objects.
Is tyndall effect exhibited by the dust particles suspended in the movie projector's beam of light in a dark room?
The Tyndall effect, also called Tyndall scattering, is light scattering via particles in a fine suspension. This effect normally creates strange color tinges when only this scattered light is seen, whereas with the movie projector the only real effect of the dust is revealing the beam of light, as the light itself still hits the screen clearly.
What is the term used for the scattering of seeds?
The scattering of seeds is to sow.
Why are objects obscured in water?
Something about fluids constantly moving, and particles scattering light, maybe?
The scattering of light?
Scattering of light is called dispersion .
Where can someone find information on light scattering?
One can find information on light scattering on the Wikipedia website. There is a comprehensive description of light scattering on that page including descriptions of the different types of light scattering.
How does mie scattering differ from Rayleigh scattering in terms of their effects on the scattering of light?
Mie scattering and Rayleigh scattering are both processes that cause light to scatter, but they differ in how they affect the scattering of light. Mie scattering occurs when particles are larger than the wavelength of light, leading to more uniform scattering in all directions. On the other hand, Rayleigh scattering occurs when particles are smaller than the wavelength of light, causing more intense scattering in the forward direction and less in other directions.
What are the different types of scattering and how do they affect the behavior of light in different mediums?
There are three main types of scattering: Rayleigh scattering, Mie scattering, and non-selective scattering. Rayleigh scattering occurs when light interacts with particles smaller than the wavelength of light, causing blue light to scatter more than other colors. Mie scattering happens when light interacts with particles similar in size to the wavelength of light, scattering all colors equally. Non-selective scattering occurs when light scatters in all directions regardless of particle size. These types of scattering affect the behavior of light in different mediums by influencing the color, intensity, and direction of light as it travels through the medium.
The scattering of light by colloids is called?
the scattering of light by colloids is known as tyndall effect. it is named after the scientist who discovered it.
How does Rayleigh scattering fluorescence contribute to the phenomenon of light scattering in the atmosphere?
Rayleigh scattering fluorescence is a process where molecules in the atmosphere absorb and re-emit light, causing the scattering of light in different directions. This phenomenon contributes to the overall scattering of light in the atmosphere, which is why the sky appears blue during the day.
What are the differences between Raman scattering and Rayleigh scattering?
Raman scattering and Rayleigh scattering are both types of light scattering, but they differ in how they interact with molecules. Rayleigh scattering occurs when light interacts with particles smaller than the wavelength of light, causing the light to scatter in all directions. Raman scattering, on the other hand, involves a change in the energy of the scattered light due to interactions with molecular vibrations. This results in a shift in the wavelength of the scattered light, providing information about the molecular structure of the material.
What is reflection of light in random directions called?
It is called scattering light if it is in random directions, or refraction if the light changes direction.
The scattering of light by colloids and susoenions is called the?
The scattering of light really is called scattering. If you are referring to a scattered reflection this can be called a diffuse reflection. Are you asking about different types of scattering such as Rayleigh scattering? Rayleigh scattering is an elastic type of scattering most well known for the blue color of the sky.
What are the differences between Mie scattering and Rayleigh scattering in terms of their effects on light propagation through a medium?
Mie scattering occurs when particles are larger than the wavelength of light, causing light to scatter in all directions. Rayleigh scattering occurs when particles are smaller than the wavelength of light, causing shorter wavelengths to scatter more than longer wavelengths. Mie scattering results in a more uniform scattering pattern, while Rayleigh scattering causes blue light to scatter more than red light, leading to the sky appearing blue.
When the wavelength of the light is halved what is the amount of scattering?
the amount of scattering does not depend on wavelength..
