What Are the Limitations of Rayleigh Scattering in Nanotechnology?
While Rayleigh scattering provides valuable information, it also has limitations. One major limitation is that it is only applicable to particles much smaller than the wavelength of the incident light. For larger particles, other scattering mechanisms, such as Mie scattering, dominate. Additionally, Rayleigh scattering is less effective in highly absorbing media, where the light may be absorbed before it can be scattered.
