Depolarized Doublet Spectra of Light scattered from Liquids

Abstract

WE suggest that the narrow depolarized doublet components of light scattered from liquids are not specifically caused by shear relaxation but by the existence of shear retardation processes, Values of the shear retardational modulus obtained by shear wave methods are similar to the modulus found from light scattering. Considerable interest has been shown in the spectra of light
