Abstract
IT has been assumed hitherto that when light is diffused by the particles in a medium with frequencies different from that of the incident light, the radiations from the particles are necessarily incoherent with each other. The following considerations indicate that this need not always be the case, and indeed that coherence is possible and may play a very important part in the scattering of light with altered frequency.
