Understanding Light Scattering Basics by aafreenshaikhrahim is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Scattering occurs when light hits tiny particles and spreads in different directions, causing phenomena like the blue sky due to the scattering of blue light. There are two types of scattering: elastic, where total kinetic energy remains the same, and inelastic, where some energy is lost. The Rayleigh criterion helps determine when two waves can be seen separately, with classifications of well resolved, just resolved, and not resolved based on the overlap of wave patterns.
