| 6F40.00 | Scattering | | |
| 6F40.10 | sunset | PIRA 200 | Pass abeam of white light through a tank of water with scattering centers from a solution of oil in alcohol. |
| 6F40.10 | sunset | 6F40.10 | A beam of white light
is passed through a tank of water and a solution of cedarwood oil in alcohol
is poured in to create scattering centers. |
| 6F40.10 | artifical sunset | Disc 24-08 | Pass a beam through a hypo solution and add acid. |
| 6F40.11 | sunset | On-1 | Light scattering with a hypo solution. |
| 6F40.11 | sunset | 35-4.1 | HCl into hypo solution scatters blue light. |
| 6F40.11 | sunset | L-46 | A beam of light is scattered when passed through water containing hypo and HCl. |
| 6F40.12 | various scattering centers, Mei | AJP 53(2),184 | Alternatives to hypo for the sunset demo including latex spheres that demonstrate Mie scattering. |
| 6F40.15 | red and blue beam | 35-4.2 | A red beam is passed through a solution of gum mastic but a blue beam is not. Diagram. |
| 6F40.20 | optical ceramics scattering | PIRA 1000 | |
| 6F40.20 | optical ceramics: Rayleigh scatterin | AJP 56(10),948 | Type 7070 glass is treated to induce glass-in-glass phase separation used to show Rayleigh scattering. |
| 6F40.30 | color of smoke | L-100 | Cigarette smoke is blue, but after exhaling is white. |
| 6F40.50 | microwave scattering | PIRA 1000 | |
| 6F40.50 | microwave scattering | 33-7.17 | Show scattering of microwaves with a dielectric dipole inserted in the beam. Picture. |
| 6F40.60 | multiple scattering | AJP 55(6),524 | Examples
of common observations inexplicable by single scattering, e.g., darkening
of wet sand, whiteness of milk, etc., are discussed without invoking the
complete incoherent scattering theory. |
| 6F40.80 | halos | AJP 55(1),87 | Look at a point source lamp through a fogged microscope slide. |
| 6F40.80 | dust halos | L-81 | A glass plate covered
with dust is held in a beam that converges into a hole in a screen. Circular
halos appear on the screen around the hole. |
| 6F40.82 | lunar halo picture | AJP 45(4),331 | Picture and analysis of an unusual lunar halo. |
