ANSWER___(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
We know that light is electromagnetic wave, with an oscillating electric field and an oscillating magnetic induction field which are mutually perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
When passing through a medium, the oscillating electric field sets the electrons of the medium into vibrations.
The electrons start to vibrate/oscillate about their mean positions. The electrons of the medium vibrate with the same frequency as that of the incident ray. These vibrating electrons constitute oscillating electric dipoles. These oscillating dipoles radiate electromagnetic waves of the same frequency as the incident wave. The radiated waves have to correlation with the direction of the incident wave, and we say the light wave has been scattered.
