For opti- cal interactions that are .. Aerosols of terpenes from the vegetation react with ozone in the atmosphere to form small particles about 200 nm across, and these particles scatter the blue light.

Optical tweezers—devices that use lasers to trap and move micrometer-sized objects such as biological cells and particles of inorganic material—have revolutionized fields such as biochemistry, cell biology, and materials engineering. Light relative to S-polarized light. Is broadly found in nature, for example among butterflies: Arrays of very small particles can also appear coloured without absorption by causing wavelength-dependent optical interference, refraction, and light scattering. Light rays may also be absorbed by the atoms, molecules, and dusts Some mountainous regions are famous for their blue haze. For optical interactions that are confined to the particle surface (e.g., opaque particles) the optical signal depends on the particle surface area and varies as the square of the particle radius. Ocean color is affected by the absorption and scattering of light, which is done by small particles in the water, including chlorophyll. An atmosphere filled with dust will appear reddish because the scattering and absorption of the shorter wavelengths would only leave the red in the direct and scattered beams. Aerosols, small particles suspended in air with a lifetime of at least minutes, are either emitted as primary aerosols (dust or particle emissions of diesel cars) or formed by the conversion of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and organic compounds in Aerosols have a large impact on the radiative balance of the Earth and subsequently on climatic change through the scattering of incoming sunlight, cloud formation, or enhanced absorption of sunlight by soot. Fluorescence is a process in which some of the incident radiation is absorbed by the particle and is then later re-emitted as spontaneous emission [11].
