Prospects of Life: Just The way Light travels III


Dear Friends,

I always wonder when I recollect whatever happened in my life for past 10 years, with so many twists and turns in the tale. Connecting our lives with just an object or sample where the interaction of light can be linked to the soul and body. The soul acts as light and the body is just the matter which interacts with incident radiation; for some it enlightens at earlier stage/later stage. This enlightenment happens over series of introspection. This happens while tracing/retracing our path. As discussed in earlier articles, the duality in nature/hypocrisy in nature where we see light as particle or wave is dependent on the path. 

The Well known scattering phenomena.

This made me realize that light undergoes another phenomenon when it strikes the sample, it’s called scattering. The scattering  phenomena can be either elastic or inelastic in nature for which the conservation laws plays a key role to decide.  As discussed earlier, even scattering is wavelength dependent phenomena. The amount of scattering is inversely proportional to fourth power of wavelength. If there is no change in frequency or wavelength of incident light then it is elastic scattering, if there is change in frequency or wavelength of incident light then it is inelastic scattering. 
Brainstorm session which is performed often scattering of thoughts and action to achieve our idea

This has given me an information on how we almost relate ourselves with a group of people as we think that there is some resonance between the group but later we end up changing for them. That change might be good initially but the moment we realize the purpose of life, we will restart to ensure that purpose of life is reached. This part I would like to discuss in next part. This made me realize the reason behind why we change/change in character/role of influencers. Basically there are two kinds of scattering
Types of scattering.

1)      Elastic: For which the wavelength or energy of the scattered photon remains constant. The scattering also depends on size of particle, if the scattering size is same as the incident wavelength, then its Mie scattering which is has wide range of applications when we deal with novel Plasmonics. If the scattering size is bigger, then we have Rayleigh scattering. To elucidate it further, the blue sky what makes us feel energetic and makes us think rich and royal is because of Rayleigh scattering. This is a typical light scattering which does not change energy or vary the frequency of light as the scattered particles/molecules are very small compared to incident wavelength. The causality of blue color is due to the dependence of wavelength, as blue falls in shorter wavelength region, the degree of scattering is more as compared to red. During sunrise and sunset, the sun is in the proximity of horizon as it is required to travel through greater portion, we get unscattered light and that is the reason why we see red sky.  This part reminds me a story where we tend to listen to a teacher, friend, well-wisher, normally we deviate ourselves from our schedules/plans as we believe that things are planned as it remains unaffected to achieve the feat. If things are not achieved or accomplished, we  deal with special kind of scattering that’s based on inelastic scattering.

Typical illustration of Rayleigh scattering.

2)      Inelastic: In this case, the wavelength/frequency changes from incident radiation.  This effect has remarkably marked change in understanding science and also it has various application in field of radiobiology. The world appreciates Compton scattering, Raman scattering, Brillion scattering. The shift gives us clarity in understanding the quality of molecule and then it makes us realize the nature of it.  The variance in refractive index (Brillouin Scattering) makes us understand that life can never be the constant. We must constantly work and ensure that we grow up every moment.  It is true that once we change our frequency or wavelength, as we focus on our goal, It improves quality of life which will be valuable. There is lot to speak on Inelastic scattering.

Elastic- Inelastic Mode 

The world gets scattered with thoughts and actions but the one within knows the purpose of his/her soul. If he gets deviated without losing the path of purpose, then it is like elastic scattering. The moment if someone loses hope and gives up purpose and changes his energy, or takes up different challenge from the initial path to achieve his purpose designated by the masters of all souls/supreme soul, which is wonderful for wandering souls like me who had no goal in life is like inelastic scattering. Now my life is defined with a purpose called "REEL@SCIENCE". It is because of my teachers whomever I met so far in my life, even my students are considered to be the finest teachers of concept as I spend my qualitative time to correlate science and life. This has been mix of everything as the thoughts are scattered towards conclusion in understanding the interaction of radiation..
The light what you see is the transmitted one, will discuss that next week..

Good Night!
