I see that Mie scattering is the more general solution to light scattering. I'm not positive on the root mechanism for Rayleigh/Mie scattering. I got the excited electron state for Rayleigh scattering from this site: http://library.thinkquest.org/27356/p_scattering.htm Could be incorrect as...
I've been trying to get some insight into the light scattering mechanism that occurs in colloidal solutions via the Tyndall effect and was hoping some of the resident experts here could shed some light... on this.
Tyndall scattering occurs with particles that are roughly the size of the...
