Specific features of depolarized and polarized light scattering in a solution with a layering isolated region

Intensities of depolarized and polarized light scattering in guaiacol-glycerin solutions with layering isolated regions are measured. It is shown that (a) the depolarized scattering intensity is the same above the higher critical point (HCP) and below the lower critical point (LCP), and (b) the polarized scattering intensity below LCP is higher, the higher the HCP. An empirical formula is offered to describe the polarized scattered light intensity. No increase in the single depolarized scattering intensity is found approaching LCP and HCP.
