  2. Mass attenuation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_attenuation_coefficient

    In chemistry, mass attenuation coefficients are often used for a chemical species dissolved in a solution.In that case, the mass attenuation coefficient is defined by the same equation, except that the "density" is the density of only that one chemical species, and the "attenuation" is the attenuation due to only that one chemical species.

  3. Rho meson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rho_meson

    The rho mesons can be interpreted [3] as a bound state of a quark and an anti-quark and is an excited version of the pion. Unlike the pion, the rho meson has spin j = 1 (a vector meson) and a much higher value of the mass. This mass difference between the pions and rho mesons is attributed to a large hyperfine interaction between the quark and ...

  4. Raman scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raman_scattering

    For Θ = π, the scattered amplitudes are opposite, so that the Raman scattered beam remains weak. A crossing of the beams may limit the path x. Several tricks may be used to get a larger amplitude: In an optically anisotropic crystal, a light ray may have two modes of propagation with different polarizations and different indices of refraction.

  5. Attenuation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation_coefficient

    The attenuation coefficient of a volume, denoted μ, is defined as [6] =, where Φ e is the radiant flux;; z is the path length of the beam.; Note that for an attenuation coefficient which does not vary with z, this equation is solved along a line from =0 to as:

  6. Raman spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raman_spectroscopy

    Raman spectroscopy is used in chemistry to identify molecules and study chemical bonding and intramolecular bonds. Because vibrational frequencies are specific to a molecule's chemical bonds and symmetry (the fingerprint region of organic molecules is in the wavenumber range 500–1,500 cm −1 ), [ 20 ] Raman provides a fingerprint to identify ...

  7. Incoherent scatter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incoherent_scatter

    A radar beam scattering off electrons in the ionospheric plasma creates an incoherent scatter return. When an electromagnetic wave is transmitted through the atmosphere, each of the electrons in the ionospheric plasma essentially acts as an antenna excited by the incoming wave, and the wave is re-radiated from the electron.

  8. X-ray reflectivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_reflectivity

    X-ray reflectivity (sometimes known as X-ray specular reflectivity, X-ray reflectometry, or XRR) is a surface-sensitive analytical technique used in chemistry, physics, and materials science to characterize surfaces, thin films and multilayers.

  9. Mie scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mie_scattering

    Monostatic radar cross section (RCS) of a perfectly conducting metal sphere as a function of frequency (calculated by Mie theory). In the low-frequency Rayleigh scattering limit, where the circumference is less than wavelength, the normalized RCS is σ π R 2 ∼ 9 ( k R ) 4 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {\sigma }{\pi R^{2}}}\sim 9(kR)^{4}} .
