Raman guide, from theory to practical

nelastic scattering of light
(Only a very small proportion of light is scattered (10^-3  10^-4) Most of that scattered light is due to Rayleigh-scattering (103– 10^-5 times more intense than Stokes)

Understanding the rama spectroscopy
Wavenumber = the number of wavelength per unit distance, 1/wavelength,
For convenience the wavenumber is used
