Name and explain the type of scattering .

Explanation

Types of Scattering.
When a beam of light, interacts with a constituent particle of the medium, it undergoes many kinds of scattering.
Based on initial and final energy of the light beam, scattering can be classified as,
(i) Elastic scattering
(ii) Inelastic scattering
1. Elastic scattering
If energy of the incident beam of light and the scattered beam of light are same, then it is called as .elastic scattering.
2. Inelastic scattering
If the energy of the incident beam of light and the scattered beam of light are not same, then it is called as .inelastic scattering..
The nature and size of the scattered results in different types of scattering. they are
(i) Ray light scattering.
(ii) mie Scattering
(iii) Tyndall scattering
(iv) Raman scattering
