== Examples of Thomson scattering == The cosmic microwave background is linearly polarized as a result of Thomson scattering, as measured by DASI and more recent experiments. The solar K-corona is the result of the Thomson scattering of solar radiation from solar coronal electrons. NASA`s STEREO mission generates three-dimensional images of the e....

The scattering of photons by free electrons, such as occurs in stellar atmospheres; it is independent of wavelength and equal numbers of photons are scattering forward and backward. Thomson scattering is named after the English physicist Joseph John Thomson (1856-1940).

<radiobiology> Scattering of photons by electrons, in the classical (low photon energy) limit. Laser light passed through a plasma will experience Thomson scattering, the spread of the scattered light in energy provides a very good measurement of the electron temperature of the plasma. ...
