Publisher's Synopsis
A unique collection of papers on the scattering of light, which portray the growth of this fascinating field. It covers molecular scattering, colloid scattering, Raman scattering, Brillouin scattering, X-ray and Compton scattering. Pioneering papers on optical and magnetic anistrophy, and magnetic, electric and flow birefringence are among the celebrated works published in this volume. Many are of historical value, demonstrating Raman's discovery of new phenomena such as shear waves in liquids and soft mode processes in crystals. The collection also includes the monograph Molecular Diffraction of Light (1922), the first lecture on the Raman Effect "A New Radiation" (March 1928), the famous papers on the colour of the sea, and the Nobel Lecture delivered at Stockholm in 1930.;Scientists, scientific institutes, university libraries, technology institutes and libraries, government laboratories and physics research centres.
