To scatter particles and/or radiation by the atoms of the medium being passed through
A portion of the energy or a laser that is scattered back in the seeker's direction by an obscurant
Suspended particles in water that are illuminated, and therefore captured on film as a cloud or scattering of light dots, when using a flash underwater near the lens
The deflection of radiation by scattering processes through angles greater than 90 degrees with respect to the original direction of propagation (motion)
The (microwave) signal reflected by elements of an illuminated scene back in the direction of the radar The term 'backscatter' was chosen to make a clear distinction between energy scattered in arbitrary directions, and energy which returns to the radar and thus is received and recorded by the sensor
The deflection of particles and/or radiation by nuclear and/or electromagnetic forces through angles greater than 90 degrees to the original direction of travel
The scattering of radiation or particles in a direction opposite to that of the incident radiation due to reflection from particles of the medium traversed
{i} deflection of nuclear particles or deviation of radiation in a scattering procedure through angles greater than ninety degrees; radiation or particles deflected in this manner
A radar echo that is reflected, or scattered, at 180 degrees to the direction of the incident wave Also the scattering of radiant energy into space before it reaches the earth's surface
a phenomenon caused by light from a strobe reflecting back into the camera lens off of small particles in the water between the subject and the lens This common problem can be minimized with proper strobe positioning and the use of wide angle lenses
(1) The scattering of radiant energy into the hemisphere of space bounded by a plane normal to the direction of the incident radiation and lying on the same side as the incident ray; (2) In SLAR usage this refers to the portion of the microwave energy scattered by the terrain surface that is directed back towards the antenna
