| scattering |
In particle physics, the process occurring when particles collide in accelerators. The scattered particle (eg an electron) transfers a part of its momentum and its energy to the scattering particle (eg a proton), whereby new particles are created in the process. The electron changes its direction of travel in a scattering process and can also transform into another particle. ...

The diffusion of the sonar signal in many directions through refraction, diffraction and reflection, primarily due to the material properties of the insonified areas. Scattering is one of the causes of attenuation in sonar, resulting in signal weakening. Also see Backscattering.

In an optical network, scattering is any process by which light is briefly delayed, then retransmitted. Forward scattering causes an overall slowing of the signal, whereas scattering in other directions leads to signal loss and, sometimes, distortion.

The amount of light that is reflected and refracted away from a particle. The measurement is widely used to estimate overall concentrations of particles suspended in water, and can also be used to look at specific material properties.
