(Atomic) Scattering is the absorption and re-emission of EM energy (quantized as 'photons of energy) by particles.
Scattering by molecular gas particles is mainly 'all round' re-emission. The main scattering mechanism is 'coherent forward scattering' (CFS) where free electrons/protons positrons and gas ions (plasma) re-transmit the light energy on the (apparent) axis it arrived.
Huygens construction shows how new 'wavelets' are distributed from each interaction which interact to modulate local energy amplitude.
'Rayleigh scattering' makes the sky look blue in daytime.
Raman scattering is all about light transmission, including in plasma 'plasmons' at the surface of matter and mirrors. first discovered in 1921 (1930 Nobel)
It is a worthwhile subject of research as it's poorly understood and many other effects aren't coherently rationalised into physics theory (Kerr surface effects, Kinetic Reverse Refraction, Non-Linear Optics etc.)

What is meant by the phrase 'light scattering'?
Light scattering is referred to as a form of scattering in which light is the form of propagating energy which is scattered. Deflection of a ray from a straight path can be thought as light scattering.
What is scattering process?
The phenomenon in which particles of the medium deviate light in a lateral direction is called scattering of light.
What process occurs when light is emitted in directions?
Scattering. The location inside the Earth where an earthquake begins is called the focus.
What is the scattering of light rays called?
Scattering of white light into its 7 constituent colours(VIBGYOR)is called dispersion of light and the band of 7 colours obtained is called Spectrum. Answer by VASU
Describe how absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light?
How absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light is if the beam of light is farther away from an object, the light would be dimmer. But, if the beam of light was closer to the object, then the light would appear brighter.
The scattering of light?
Scattering of light is called dispersion .
What is meant by the phrase 'light scattering'?
Light scattering is referred to as a form of scattering in which light is the form of propagating energy which is scattered. Deflection of a ray from a straight path can be thought as light scattering.
Where can someone find information on light scattering?
One can find information on light scattering on the Wikipedia website. There is a comprehensive description of light scattering on that page including descriptions of the different types of light scattering.
The scattering of light by colloids is called?
the scattering of light by colloids is known as tyndall effect. it is named after the scientist who discovered it.
What is scattering process?
The phenomenon in which particles of the medium deviate light in a lateral direction is called scattering of light.
When the wavelength of the light is halved what is the amount of scattering?
the amount of scattering does not depend on wavelength..
The scattering of light by colloids and susoenions is called the?
The scattering of light really is called scattering. If you are referring to a scattered reflection this can be called a diffuse reflection. Are you asking about different types of scattering such as Rayleigh scattering? Rayleigh scattering is an elastic type of scattering most well known for the blue color of the sky.
Does the scattering of light is possible in moon?
no
What process occurs when light is emitted in directions?
Scattering. The location inside the Earth where an earthquake begins is called the focus.
What is the reflection of of light in all directions?
Scattering
What did v raman invented?
scattering of light
What has the author Bruce J Berne written?
Bruce J. Berne has written: 'Dynamic light scattering' -- subject(s): Light, Scattering, Molecules
