why small particles whose size is less than that of the wavelength of the photon is called elastic scattering

Answers

Answered by ayushkishormkv

Answer:

Optical elastic scattering

In Rayleigh scattering a photon penetrates into a medium composed of particles whose sizes are much smaller than the wavelength of the incident photon. In this scattering process, the energy (and therefore the wavelength) of the incident photon is conserved and only its direction is changed.
