rozpraszajcy

Rozpraszajcy is not a standard Polish word. The most likely intended forms are rozpraszający (the present participle of rozpraszać) or rozpraszacz (the noun meaning diffuser or scatterer). Rozpraszać means to scatter, disperse, or—depending on context—distract. The participle rozpraszający literally means “that which distracts or disperses” and is used to describe people, objects, or processes that draw attention away or spread something out.

In everyday language, rozpraszający describes things that interrupt or divert attention, such as rozpraszający hałas (distracting noise) or rozpraszające reklamy (distracting advertisements). In optics and physics, rozpraszanie is the process of scattering waves or particles; related terms include rozpraszacz (scatterer or diffuser) and rozpraszające światło (scattered or diffuse light). The expression światło rozpraszające denotes light that has been scattered and travels in many directions, producing diffuse illumination.

In technical contexts, rozpraszacz is used for devices that diffuse or scatter light, sound, or particles; in physics, researchers describe rozpraszanie as a process and may refer to a cząstka rozpraszająca (a scattering particle) as the agent of that process. More precise terminology often prefers rozpraszać (the verb), rozpraszanie (the noun for the process), and rozpraszacz for the device or agent.
