Abstract
A molecular theory of the scattering of light by fluids of isotropic molecules is developed, utilizing recent advances in the statistical mechanics of condensed phases. The results are shown to be the same in first approximation as those of the continuous theory based on fluctuations originally proposed by Smoluchowski and Einstein. Higher approximations of the molecular theory are especially applicable to the study of critical opalescence and fluids consisting of very large molecules.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
