Difference between Rayleigh scattering and Ultraviolet

Rayleigh scattering vs. Ultraviolet

Rayleigh scattering (pronounced), named after the British physicist Lord Rayleigh (John William Strutt), is the (dominantly) elastic scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation. Ultraviolet (UV) is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.

Similarities between Rayleigh scattering and Ultraviolet

Rayleigh scattering and Ultraviolet have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Electromagnetic radiation, Light, Optical fiber, Raman scattering, Sunlight, Wavelength.

Electromagnetic radiation

In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating (radiating) through space-time, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy.

Light

Light is electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Optical fiber

An optical fiber or optical fibre is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair.

Raman scattering

Raman scattering or the Raman effect is the inelastic scattering of a photon by molecules which are excited to higher vibrational or rotational energy levels.

Sunlight

Sunlight is a portion of the electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun, in particular infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light.

Wavelength

In physics, the wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.

Rayleigh scattering and Ultraviolet Comparison

Rayleigh scattering has 54 relations, while Ultraviolet has 285. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 1.77% = 6 / (54 + 285).
