Porod law

Porod's law describes how the scattering of light or particles changes as it interacts with different shapes and structures at a microscopic level, particularly in materials. It states that the intensity of scattering decreases with the inverse of the radius of the scatterer's surface, which means that irregularities or features on the surface can cause scattering patterns that reveal information about the shape and size of the particles. This principle is often used in fields like materials science and biology to study and characterize complex structures, such as polymers or biological cells.
