Scattering by particles similar to or larger than the wavelength of light is typically treated by the Mie theory, the discrete dipole approximation and other computational techniques.

Scattering from larger spherical particles is explained by the Mie theory for an arbitrary size parameter x.

Scattering is a general physical process where some forms of radiation, such as light, sound, or moving particles, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by one or more localized non-uniformities in the medium through which they pass.

Scattering theory is a framework for studying and understanding the scattering of waves and particles.

Scattering also includes the interaction of billiard balls on a table, the Rutherford scattering ( or angle change ) of alpha particles by gold nuclei, the Bragg scattering ( or diffraction ) of electrons and X-rays by a cluster of atoms, and the inelastic scattering of a fission fragment as it traverses a thin foil.

Scattering occurs from molecules of the air and also from larger particles in the atmosphere such as water vapor and smoke ( see haze ).

Scattering from suspended particles also plays an important role in the color of lakes and oceans.

Scattering from suspended particles would normally give a white color, as with snow, but because the light first passes through many meters of blue-colored liquid, the scattered light appears blue.

Scattering the warriors, Stuart and three other lieutenants chased one down, whom Stuart wounded in the thigh with his pistol.

Robert Hofstadter coined the term fermi ( unit ), symbol fm, in honor of the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi ( 1901 – 1954 ), one of the founders of nuclear physics, in Hofstadter's 1956 paper published in the Reviews of Modern Physics journal, " Electron Scattering and Nuclear Structure ".

The annual closing event is the Scattering, a gathering of many of the festivals musicians playing together in one combined session, with fifty or more musicians on the stage at one time not uncommon.

The breakdown of Leto's empire, severe famine on many worlds and the introduction of Ixian navigation machines have caused billions of people to leave the settled worlds, striking off into unknown space in a diaspora known as the Scattering.

Scattering can occur both coherently, when reflected waves are in-phase but directed away from the receiver, or incoherently where waves are picked up by the receiver but are out of phase and thus have lower signal strength.

During USMP-2 operations on Flight Day 4, the Critical Fluid Light Scattering Experiment, or ZENO, team reported overnight that they started seeing behavior in the fluid xenon unlike any they have seen on Earth.

Further, in Heretics of Dune, Odrade theorizes that the Honored Matres may have been driven back from the Scattering as their subjects have developed resistance to their form of Voice control due to its over use.

Dynamic Light Scattering ( DLS ) techniques have been utilized in order to monitor the dynamics of density fluctuations through the behavior of the autocorrelation function near the point of gelation.

The CRTC program, Department of Physics has numbers of research groups have research activities in areas of Theoretical and Experimental Nuclear Physics, Nonlinear Optics, Thin film Magnetism, Neutron Scattering, Neutron Activation Analysis, Neutron Radiography, Defects in Solids, Semiconductor Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Gravitational Physics and Celestial Mechanics and Theoretical Physics.

Though the Honored Matres had destroyed all Bene Tleilax worlds, their descendants ( the Lost Tleilaxu ) have returned from The Scattering.

According to various excerpts, Futars can find and destroy Honored Matres, and are rumored to have been created and used by the " Ones of Many Faces " in their devastating attack against the Honored Matres in The Scattering.

Except for light that comes directly from the sun, most of the light in the day sky is a result of scattering, which is dominated by a small-particle limit called Rayleigh Scattering.

Scattering of light and radio waves ( especially in radar ) is particularly important.

Scattering is significant for light at all visible wavelengths, but it is stronger at the shorter ( bluer ) end of the visible spectrum, meaning that that the scattered light is more blue than its source, the sun.

Scattering effects also partially polarize light from the sky, most pronounced at an angle 90 ° from the sun.

The scattering of light by particulate impurities in air and other gases, and in liquids, is known today as the Tyndall Effect or Tyndall Scattering.

* Filtered Rayleigh Scattering, a method for measuring the flow rate of a fluid based on scattering of light

Scattering of laser light from the electrons in a plasma is known as Thomson scattering.

Scattering of light must also be taken into account.

Ribbons of light due to Tyndall Scattering

Scattering adds the sky light as a veiling luminance onto the light from the object, reducing its contrast with the background sky light.

Scattering stimulated by EHUX blooms not only cause more heat and light to be pushed back up into the atmosphere than usual, but also cause more of the remaining heat to be trapped closer to the ocean surface.

The Bidirectional Surface Scattering Reflectance Distribution Function ( BSSRDF ), is a further generalized 8-dimensional function in which light entering the surface may scatter internally and exit at another location.

The LCDs were an early form using the Dynamic Scattering Mode DSM with the numbers appearing as bright against a dark background.

Scattering before the encroaching desert and invading horsemen, the savanna people migrated into the Sudan or were absorbed by the Berbers.

By crushing the aspirations of humans for over three thousand years, Leto caused the Scattering, an explosion of humanity into the rest of the universe upon his death.

With Leto's death, a hugely complex economic system built on spice collapsed, resulting in trillions leaving known space in a great Scattering.

However, people from the Scattering are returning with their own peculiar powers.

Taraza offers full alliance with them against the onslaught of forces out of the Scattering.

Incidentally the name given to this process of a photon interacting with an electron in this way is Compton Scattering.

It is also possible to analyse the eluent flow continuously with RI, LALLS, Multi-Angle Laser Light Scattering MALS, UV, and / or viscosity measurements.

The Matres themselves are being hunted by a far more powerful force from out in the Scattering.

Later in Heretics of Dune, the Bene Gesserit plan to use Reverend Mother Sheeana's ability to control the great sandworms to build her into a religious figure around whom they can fashion a mass devoted following, uniting many factions in the universe under the Bene Gesserit and against the forces of the Scattering.

The Timber is principally Hemlock & Birch with a few Scattering trees of White Pine of poor quality.

There are Some Scattering groves of White Pine though of poor quality and not valuable for lumber.

In Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's 2006 continuation of the original series, Hunters of Dune, the Lost Tleilaxu are introduced ; they are descendants of the Tleilaxu and Face Dancers who left the Old Empire during The Scattering.
