In-scattering

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005892",
  "term": "In-scattering",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The process by which radiation is scattered into a specific direction or volume element from other directions. This phenomenon contributes to the total radiation field within a medium, altering the path and energy distribution of photons or other particles. It is a component of the radiative transfer equation, alongside absorption and out-scattering.",
  "synonyms": [
    "scattering in (into the beam under consideration)"
  ],
  "subject": "Physical and Biophysical Chemistry",

    "out-scattering",
    "radiative transfer equation"
