When reflected and transmitted light are perpendicular in rayleigh scattering gives strong _________

A

Polarization

32
Q

Orange sunset is what type of scattering?

A

Multiple

33
Q

Green flash at sunset

A

Red and yellow go above the observer, blue goes below and green goes right to the observer. Must be very clear atmosphere with no pollution.

34
Q

When the particles are much closer together than the coherence length of the light, constructive and destructive interference occurs between the waves scattered from different particles

A

Coherent scattering

35
Q

In coherent scattering, particles are much _______ than the wavelength of the light

A

Smaller

36
Q

Each particle acts as a _____ for the coherent scattered waves

A

Source

37

A

Outward

38

Coherent scattering acts as a

A

Diffraction grating

39
Q

Many coherent scattered waves interfere destructively in ______ directions

A

Most

40
Q

Many coherent scattered waves interfere constructively in _____ directions

A

Two

41
Q

Constructive coherent scattering in 2 directions

A
  • Parallel to incident light (forward scatter)

- refract relative to incident wave (phase shifted)

42
Q

Light scatter leads to deleterious visual effects like

A
  • glare while night driving
  • hindrance from low sun during daytime
  • facial recognition problems
  • haziness of vision
  • color and contrast loss
43
Q

Sources of ocular scatter

A
  • cornea
  • sclera and iris
  • lens
  • vitreous humor
  • retina
44
Q

Forward scattering (FWS)

A

Light going into the eye

45
Q

Backward scattering (BWS)

A

Light reflecting back from the fundus

46
Q

Eye is assessed by ______ light scatter, using slit lamp mainly

A

Backward

47
Q

______ light scatter is studied in vitro in human donor lenses

A

Forward

48
Q

What is BWS used for

A

Dx

49
Q

What is FWS used for

A

Function of vision, human donor lenses

50
Q

What does the corneal endothelium do

A

Pumps excess water out of the cornea into the aqueous humor

51
Q

Reasoned for scattering in cornea

A

Loses its transparency and takes on grayish appearance, scar tissue on the cornea

52
Q

The collagen fibers in sclera have ______spacing than the wavelength of light, causing what kind of scattering

A

Larger

Mie scattering

53
Q

Due to ___________, sclera appears whitish

A

Large particle incoherent forward scattering

54
Q

Sclera thinning

A

Fibers get smaller and sclera takes on a bluish color due to rayleigh type scattering
Functional effect

55
Q

Melanin and scleral function

A

Although the function of sclera is to block the light entering the eye, they are not totally opaque. Light can get through sclera depending on the level of pigmentation and density of the structures generating intraocular scattering

Those without melanin may experience more scattering

56
Q

______ pigments in the lens scatter more light (forward scatter)

A

Yellow

Functional effect

57
Q

Cataract and scattering

A

Fluid pools

58
Q

Floaters

A

Coalescing of collagen fibers causes fluid packets, developing a localized scattering, this causes floating specks and threads

59
Q

Retina scatters light as much as the ______

A

Cornea

1/3 bws

60
Q

How does rental scattering increase

A

When blood circulation/supply is interrupted, the retinal integrity is damaged, and edema fluid starts collecting in the nerve fiber layer. This increases retinal light scattering turning the area into milky gray (cotton wool spots)
