Static and Dynamic Scattering
A common dichotomy in light scattering terminology is static light scattering versus dynamic light scattering. The chief distinction is whether the scattering is observed to be changing over time (dynamic) or constant over the observation (static). This terminology is especially commonly encountered in the field of polymer chemistry, though it can obviously be applied to a broad range of situations.

Famous quotes containing the words dynamic and/or scattering:
“Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“What was he doing, the great god Pan,
Down in the reeds by the river?
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
Splashing and paddling with hoofs of a goat,
And breaking the golden lilies afloat
With the dragon-fly on the river.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
