A review of equations for the calculation of all possible
Rayleigh ratios, polarifation ratios and apparent optical anisotropy
is given. It is shown that all these quantities can be derived
from physical constants characteristic for a dense medium, provided
the statistical theory of the fluctuations in density and orientation
is applied. Angular light scattering measurements were performed
using the Oster-Aminco photometer at wave lengths of 546 and
436 mμ. The results show a good agreement b etween theory and
experiment
