Preferred Label : elastic scattering;
Detailed label : elastic scattering in spectrochemistry;
IUPAC definition : radiation may be scattered by its transmission through a medium containing particles.
If the scatter results in no significant change in the wavelength relative to the
primary radiation it is called elastic scattering. In cases where the scattering centres
are small compared to the wavelength of the radiation the elastic scattering is called
Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering if this condition is not fulfilled.;
