About this document
Coherent vs. Incoherent Light Scattering by Alberto Rasa' is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) Light scattering can be coherent or incoherent depending on whether the scattered wavelets have random or non-random phases. Coherent scattering results in stronger signals while incoherent scattering results in weaker signals but not zero. 2) The sky is blue due to wavelength-dependent incoherent scattering of light by air molecules. Shorter wavelengths are scattered more strongly, leaving longer wavelengths like red less scattered and dominating views of sunsets. 3) Rainbows occur due to the wavelen
