Difference between Scattering and Thomson scattering

Scattering vs. Thomson scattering

Scattering is a general physical process where some forms of radiation, such as light, sound, or moving particles, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by one or more paths due to localized non-uniformities in the medium through which they pass. Thomson scattering is the elastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation by a free charged particle, as described by classical electromagnetism.

Similarities between Scattering and Thomson scattering

Scattering and Thomson scattering have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Compton scattering, Elastic scattering, Electromagnetic radiation, Polarization (waves), X-ray crystallography.

Compton scattering

Compton scattering, discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, is the scattering of a photon by a charged particle, usually an electron.

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.

Polarization (waves)

Polarization (also polarisation) is a property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations.

X-ray crystallography

X-ray crystallography is a technique used for determining the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline atoms cause a beam of incident X-rays to diffract into many specific directions.

Scattering and Thomson scattering Comparison

Scattering has 103 relations, while Thomson scattering has 34. As they have in common 5, the Jaccard index is 3.65% = 5 / (103 + 34).
