Capacitance is usually measured in microfarads (abbreviated uF or mfd) or picofarads (pF). The microfarad is one millionth of a farad , and the picofarad is one-millionth of a microfarad .
Scattering occurs when light or other energy waves pass through an imperfect medium (such as air filled with particles of some sort) and are deflected from a straight path. A great example is when the sun’s rays pass through clouds. The light is deflected off of its straight path and scatters in many directions.
