excess Rayleigh ratio

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.E02236
The difference between the Rayleigh ratio for a dilute solution and for pure solvent. If the scattering intensity is not reduced to the Rayleigh ratio, the difference between the scattering intensities for a dilute solution and that for pure solvent is named 'excess scattering'.
