Rayleigh scatteringRayleigh scattering (named after Lord Rayleigh) is the scattering of light by particles smaller than the wavelength of the light. It occurs when light travels in transparent solids and liquids, but is most prominently seen in gases. Rayleigh scattering of	Rayleigh numberIn fluid mechanics, the Rayleigh number for a fluid is a dimensionless number associated with the heat transfer within the fluid. When the Rayleigh number is below the critical value for that fluid, heat transfer is primary in the form of conduction; when	Rayleigh-Jeans lawIn physics, the Rayleigh-Jeans Law first proposed in the 19th century, expresses the energy density of blackbody radiation of wavelength λ as : where λ is in meters, T is the temperature in Kelvins, and k is Boltzmann's constant. The law agr
Rayleigh quotientIn mathematics, for a given real symmetric matrix A and real nonzero vector x the Rayleigh quotient ''R(A,x is defined as: : Note that R(A,c·x) R(A,x for any real scalar c''. It can be shown that this quotient reaches its minimum value lambda (the smalles	RayleighRayleigh is a town in Essex, England located between Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea.
