It might seem like a simple question. But the science behind a blue sky isn't that easy. For starters, it involves something called the Rayleigh effect, or Rayleigh scattering. But that same ...

It takes all the colors of the rainbow for us to see it that way. It happens because of something called the Rayleigh effect, or Rayleigh scattering, named after a British scientist who first ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain ...

Ever wonder why the sky is blue, vs. say red, orange or purple? An effect called Rayleigh Scattering is part of the reason we ...
