The phenomena of light scattering and several basic types of light scattering are briefly introduced and summarized in this article.In the quantum mechanics point of view,the light scattering was looked on as the interaction between photons and material atoms(scattering of photons and material atoms or collision),and their images was also given.Then all kinds of scattering,such as: Compton scattering,Rayleigh scattering and Raman scattering were discussed and analysed,and the relevant formulas were given.A lot of knowledge about the basic theory of light scattering and structure of atoms or molecules are obtained.

The scattering of a particle in quantum mechanics and the scattering of electromagnetic waves have certain analogies. The quantum scattering of a particle is analyzed as the interference among components characterized by number of reflections at the spherical boundary in analogy to the rainbow phenomena of light.

The semiclassical limit of quantum mechanical scattering in two dimensions is developed and the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin and eikonal results for two-dimensional scattering is derived. No backward or forward glory scattering is present in two dimensions. Other phenomena, such as rainbows and orbiting, do occur.
