The rayleigh (symbol: R or ray) is a unit of measurement used in optics and physics to quantify the intensity of light, specifically for the measurement of the brightness of astronomical objects or the scattering of light. 1 rayleigh is defined as the amount of light scattered by a molecule of gas that results in a change of intensity of 1 photon per square meter per second.
