Photon Scattering: Basic Principle of Photon Scattering . Audio Narration is available . No Scattering: Photon Source and Detector . ... For optical photons, scattering goes as wavelength to the -4 power. In the case of blue photons compared to red photons, this means that blue photons are about 10 times more likely to get scattered than red photons. ...

... The Drake Equation: Adding a METI Factor . ... METI (Messaging to Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) is an activity, which I believe to be an inherent attribute of advanced civilizations. In order to account for the true prevalence of communicative civilizations (that is, those that engage in METI), I suggest we introduce a METI factor f m into the classical Drake Equation . ... f p = The fraction of those stars with planetary systems . ... Then the METI factor f m should be quite small, about 0.01. ...

... We have used a coupled dynamical and chemical model to examine the chemical changes caused by the passage of a density wave propagating into the protostellar cloud. ... The chemical coupling between gas and dust causes locally increased number densities of active ra dicals, such as C, N, O, NH, and OH, and hydrogen saturated molecules CH 4 , NH 3 and H 2 O. We show that chemical evolution in the post-wave gas can account for the observed abundance of water and NH 3 observed in interstellar clouds. ...
