'''Light scattering''' is a form of [[scattering]] in which [[light]] in the form of propagating energy 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. Deviations from the [[law of reflection]] due to irregularities on a surface are also usually considere(contracted; show full) Solids|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-5bVBbAoaGoC&printsec=frontcover|isbn=0-19-850612-0|publisher=Oxford University Press, USA|year= 2002}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Smith |first=R.G. |title=Optical power handling capacity of low loss optical fibers as determined by stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering |journal=Appl.

The interaction of light with matter can reveal important information about the structure and dynamics of the material being examined. If the [[scattering|scattering centers]] are in motion, then the scattered radiation is [[Doppler effect|Doppler shifted]]. An analysis of the spectrum of scattered light can thus yield information regarding the motion of the scattering center. [[Frequency|Periodicity]] or structural repetition in the scattering medium will cause [[Interference (wave propagation)|interferenc(contracted; show full)
