Rayleigh Scattering vs Raman Scattering
Interaction between electric field of incident photon and molecule Electric field oscillating with incident frequency vi: Induces molecular electric dipole (p): Proportional to molecular polarizability, Polarization results in nuclear displacement Classical Raman Physics
For small distortions, polarizability is linearly proportional to the displacement • Resultant dipole: Rayleigh Scattering Stokes Raman Anti-Stokes Raman
