Stokes-Raman scattering

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011443",
  "term": "Stokes-Raman scattering",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The inelastic scattering of photons by molecules, where the scattered photons have lower energy (longer wavelength) than the incident photons. This energy difference corresponds to the excitation of a vibrational mode in the molecule, with the molecule gaining energy from the photon. It is the more intense component of Raman scattering compared to anti-Stokes Raman scattering.",
