Effect of light pressure on the transparency of a polydisperse aerosol

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of the effect of light pressure on the kinetics of the transparency of a turbid medium consisting of a suspension of weakly absorbing particles has been studied. It is shown that for real clouds and mists, the process of directed coagulation of an aerosol in the field of intense optical radiation leads to the effect of “clarification” of the medium in the visible region of the spectrum.
