= Scattering, absorption and radiative transfer (optics)
{wiki=Category:Scattering,_absorption_and_radiative_transfer_(optics)}
Scattering, absorption, and radiative transfer are fundamental concepts in optics that describe how light interacts with matter. Here's a brief overview of each concept: \#\#\# Scattering Scattering refers to the deflection of light rays from a straight path due to interaction with particles or irregularities in a medium. When light encounters small particles (like dust, air molecules, or water droplets), it can be redirected in various directions.
