Rayleigh Scattering Rayleigh scattering refers to the scattering of light off of the molecules of the air, and can be extended to scattering from particles up to about a tenth of the wavelength of the light.
Mie Scattering The scattering from molecules and very tiny particles (< 1 /10 wavelength) is predominantly Rayleigh scattering. For particle sizes larger than a wavelength, Mie scattering predominates.
Mie scattering is not strongly wavelength dependent and produces the almost white glare around the sun when a lot of particulate material is present in the air. It also gives us the the white light from mist and fog.

Quasi-Elastic Light Scattering or... SLS - Static Light Scattering The amount of light scattered is directly proportional to the product of the weight-average molar mass and the macromolecule (solute) concentration, i.e., LS ~ Mw·c • R(Q) is the excess intensity of scattered light at angle Q • c is the sample concentration • Mw is the weight-average molecular weight (molar mass) • A2 is a second viral coefficient • K* is an optical parameter equal to • 4p2n2 (dn/dc)2 / (lo4NA) • n is the solvent refractive index and dn/dc is the refractive index increment • NA is Avogadro’s number • lo is the wavelength of the scattered light in vacuum. Based on Zimm’s formalism, the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans light scattering model for dilute polymer solutions can be expressed as equation below:
The function P(Q) describes the angular dependence of scattered light. The expansion of 1/ P(Q) to first order gives: 1/ P(Q) = 1 + (16p2/3l2) <rg2>. sin2(Q/2) + f4 sin4(Q/2) +... At low angles the angular dependence of light scattering depends only on the mean square radius <rg2> (alternatively called radius of gyration) and is independent of molecular conformation or branching. Zimm plot A plot of K*c /R(Q) vs. sin2(Q/2) yields a curve whose intercept gives Mw and whose slope at low angles gives <rg2>.
