The longer the conductor, the more scattering events occur in each electron's path through the material, so the higher the resistance.
If the neutron is emitted immediately, it acts the same as in other scattering events.
Electrons ejected from a solid will generally undergo multiple scattering events and lose energy in the form of collective electron density oscillations called plasmons.
The next scattering event excites the neighbouring nodes according to the principle described above.
Likewise, after numerous scattering events, few absorption events will occur and the radiance will become nearly isotropic.
Raman spectroscopy relies on inelastic scattering events of monochromatic light to produce a spectrum characteristic of a sample.
Also, multiple scattering events are very likely which complicates analysis.
The scattering events and the duration of particle flight is determined through the use of random numbers.
If this is multiplied by the cross-section, then a dimensionless number is obtained which would be simply the number of expected scattering events.
Some incident electrons undergo a single, elastic scattering event at the crystal surface, a process termed kinematic scattering.
