{i} dispersal; act of sprinkling; something that is dispersed or sprinkled; small quantity; process by which energy is dispersed as it passes through a medium (Physics)
Of a wave propagating in a material medium, a phenomenon in which the direction, frequency, or polarization of the wave is changed when the wave encounters discontinuities in the medium, or interacts with the material at the atomic or molecular level (188) Note: Scattering results in a disordered or random change in the incident energy distribution
The "war in heaven" where consciousness moved its awareness from God to temporal cycles and fell into identification with the physical universe and death A forced shift of perception from God to fear
a light shower that falls in some locations and not others nearby the physical process in which particles are deflected haphazardly as a result of collisions a small number dispersed haphazardly; "the first scatterings of green
The diversion of radiation, including radio, radar, thermal, and nuclear, from its original path as a result of interactions (or collisions) with atoms, molecules, or larger particles in the atmosphere or other medium between the source of the radiations (e g , a nuclear explosion) and a point at some distance away As a result of scattering, radiations (especially gamma rays and neutrons) will be received at such a point from many directions instead of only from the direction of the source
an interaction of a light wave with an object that causes the light to be redirected in its path In elastic scattering, no energy is lost to the object
dispersion of electromagnetic radiation as a result of it's interaction with molecules in the atmosphere The sky appears blue as a result of the blue region of the visual spectrum being scattered more than the red region
The process by which electromagnetic radiation interacts with and is redirected by the molecules of the atmosphere, ocean, or land surface The term is frequently applied to the interaction of the atmosphere on sunlight, which causes the sky to appear blue (since light near the blue end of the spectrum is scattered much more than light near the red end)
The process by which small particles suspended in the air diffuse a portion of the incident radiation in all directions This is a primary reason for colors, such as blue skies, rainbows, and orange sunsets When working with radars, this often refers to the more or less random changes in direction of radio energy
The process by which some of a stream of radiation is dispersed to travel in directions other than that which from it was incident by particles suspended in the medium through which it is travelling
Sometimes a photon incident on a sample is "captured" by an electron in the sample Shortly thereafter, this electron releases a different photon This electron-photon process is called scattering When the released photon has the same wavelength as the captured photon, the process is called elastic scattering (also see Reflection and also see Transmission) When the released photon has a wavelength different from the captured photon, the process is called inelastic scattering (see also Raman scattering)
The act or process of separation or dispersing The dispersal of a beam of particles or of radiation into a range of directions resulting from physical interactions
The change of direction of light rays or photons after striking small particles It may also be regarded as the diffusion of a light beam caused by the inhomogeneity of the transmitting material
A scattering of things or people is a small number of them spread over an area. the scattering of houses east of the village. a scattering of sth a small number of things or people spread out over a large area. In physics, the change in direction of motion of a particle because of a collision with another particle. The collision can occur between two charged particles; it need not involve direct physical contact. Experiments show that the trajectory of the scattered particle is a hyperbola and that, as the bombarding particle is aimed more closely toward the scattering centre, the angle of deflection decreases. The term scattering is also used for the diffusion of electromagnetic waves by the atmosphere, resulting, for example, in long-range radio reception on the ground. See also Rayleigh scattering
A change in the light wave passing through an optical fiber caused by an impurity or change of density in the fiber This effect produces losses in the fiber
Is an atmospheric process where small particles and gas molecules diffuse part of the incoming solar radiation in random directions without any alteration to the wavelength of the electromagnetic energy Scattering does, however, reduce the amount of incoming radiation reaching the Earth's surface A significant proportion of scattered shortwave solar radiation is redirected back to space The amount of scattering that takes place is dependent on two factors: wavelength of the incoming radiation and the size of the scattering particle or gas molecule In the Earth's atmosphere, the presence of a large number of particles with a size of about 0 5 µm results in shorter wavelengths being preferentially scattered This factor also causes our sky to look blue because this color corresponds to those wavelengths that are best diffused
A property of glass that causes light to deflect from the fiber and contributes to optical attenuation Single-Mode Fiber (SM) An optical waveguide (or fiber) in which the signal travels in one mode The fiber has a small core diameter, typically 8 3 µm Splice Closure A container used to organize and protect splice trays Typically used in outside plant environments Splice Tray A container used to secure, organize, and protect spliced fibers Splicing The permanent joining of bare fiber ends to another fiber See Fusion Splice and Mechanical Splicing
