Scattering  

Definition

  • 1. A process in which a change in direction or energy of an incident radiation is caused by interaction with a particle, a system of particles, or a photon. (TIB, Physico-chemical process). 2. A change in the direction of motion of a particle because of a collision with another particle. (Britannica). 3. Scattering is a wide range of physical processes where moving particles or radiation of some form, such as light or sound, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by localized non-uniformities (including particles and radiation) in the medium through which they pass. (Wikipedia). 4. A process in which a change in direction or energy of an incident radiation is caused by interaction with a particle, a system of particles, or a photon. (IUPAC)
