| scattering |
the physical process in which particles are deflected haphazardly as a result of collisions a small number (of something) dispersed haphazardly; "the first scatterings of green"; "a sprinkling of grey at his temples" a light shower that falls in some locations and not others nearby dispersion: spreading widely or driving off scatter: the act of scattering diffusing(a): spreading by diffusion

| scattering |
A specification of the angular distribution of the electromagnetic energy scattered by a particle or a scattering medium. The differential (scattering) cross section is defined as the ratio of the intensity of radiant energy scattered in a given direction to the incident irradiance and thus has dimensions of area per unit solid angle. The symbol is frequently used for scattering cross section and d /d for the differential cross section.
