Electromagnetic radiation
대기중에 부유하고 있는 입자상 물질에 빛을 조사하면 입자상 물질에 의해 빛이 산란하
게 된다. 물리적 성질이 동일한 입자상 물질의 빛을 조사하면 산란광의 양은 질량 농도에
비례하게 된다. 이러한 원리를 이용하여 산란광의 양을 측정하고 그 값으로부터 입자상
물질의 양을 구하는 방법이다
Transmission
Reflection
Absorption
Scattering
- transmission: transmitted radiation passes through the medium unaltered.
- absorption: energy from the incident beam is taken up, resulting in:
(1)heating, (2) re-emitting at another wavelength (fluorescence,
phosphorescence), (3)supporting chemical reactions.
- scattering: scattering is non-specific, meaning the incident radiation is
entirely re-emitted in all direction with essentially no change in wavelength.
Scattering results simply from the optical inhomogeneity of the medium.
- reflection: scattering at the surface of a matter (not considered here)
- Scattering center = small volumes of material that scatters light.
ex. individual molecule in a gas
- If the radius of the scattering center, a, is much smaller than the
wavelength of the incident light (a < 0.05λo, less than 5% of λo);
→ When the oscillating electric field of the incident beam interacts with
the scattering center, it induces a synchronous oscillating dipole, which
re-emits the electromagnetic energy in all directions.(Rayleigh scattering)
- ex. dissolved polymer coils of moderate molar mass radiated by
VISIBLE light

RGD(Rayleigh-Gans-Debye) scattering:
In case of polymer (a  /20, Rayleigh limit), there is inference
between scattered light from the different part of the same molecule
→ Correction by scattering factor P(θ) is necessary

To get Mw, we do two extrapolations.
First, plotting Kc/Rθ as a function of sin2(θ/2) at constant c gives a straight
line with the following slope and intercept:

Plot Kc/Rθ vs sin2(θ/2)+kc, where k is a constant.
k is chosen to spread out the plot and give equal weights to each variable
- There will be experimental
points at all grid points except
along the lower line (the θ = 0
line) and the left-most line (the
c = 0) line.
- Connecting all the grid lines
and extrapolating to the lowerleft corner, the intercept point
gives the molecular weight
(intercept = 1/MW).
