Important Questions on Scattering of Light
What is the difference between Rayleigh and Raman scattering?
Mie scattering takes place when the diameter of the scatterer is similiar to or larger than the wavelength of the incident light.
Explain the appearance of different colour of the sky during different time of the day on the basis of rayleigh scattering.
Mie scattering is caused by pollen, dust, smoke and other particles in the lower layer of atmosphere.
Mie scattering is responsible for the white colour of clouds.
Tyndall scattering is a type of inelastic scattering.
Rayleigh scattering is a type of inelastic scattering.
What are the different types of inelastic scattering?
_____ scattering is a form of particle scattering in scattering theory, nuclear physics and particle physics.
If the energy of incident and scattered beam of light are same, it is called as inelastic scattering.
If the energy of incident and scattered beam of light are the same, it is called as elastic scattering.
Name the particle which separate and move or cause separating and move in various directions in a scattering.
