whose namesake scattering is often contrasted with Raman [RAH-mun] scattering.
The waves named for this person, which are very similar to Lamb waves, travel along solid surfaces and are generated by earthquakes. His name also is used for the situation when the minimum amplitude of one diffraction image coincides with the maximum amplitude of another, his namesake criterion. This person is also named for the elastic scattering of light, which is used to explain why the sky is blue.
