'''Light scattering''' is a form of [[scattering]] in which [[light]] is the form of propagating energy which is scattered. Light scattering can be thought of as the deflection of a [[ray (optics)|ray]] from a straight path, for example by irregularities in the propagation [[optical medium|medium]], [[light scattering by particles|particles]], or in the interface between two media.

==Introduction==

The interaction of light with matter can shed light on important information about the structure and dynamics of the material being examined. If the scattering centers are in motion, then the scattered radiation is Doppler shifted. An analysis of the spectrum of scattered light can thus yield information regarding the motion of the scattering center. Periodicity or structural repetition in the scattering medium will cause interference in the spectrum of scattered light. Thu(contracted; show full)
