2 unusual facts about Light scattering


Callier effect

In the absence of scattering, the attenuance provided by the emulsion is independent of the collimation of the illumination; a dense point absorbs a big portion of light and a less dense point absorbs a smaller portion, irrespective of the directional characteristics of the incident light.

Light scattering

Periodicity or structural repetition in the scattering medium will cause interference in the spectrum of scattered light.

These data were recently confirmed and extended by energetics experiments using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry and Multi-Angle Light Scattering.

Leonid Mandelstam

In 1918, Mandelstam theoretically predicted the fine structure splitting in Rayleigh scattering due to light scattering on thermal acoustic waves.

Ochronosis

However, macroscopically the affected tissues appear bluish grey because of a light scattering phenomenon known as the Tyndall effect.
