rozpraszane

Rozpraszane is a form of the Polish verb rozpraszać (to scatter, to dissipate) used as a passive participle or adjective. The form rozpraszane is neuter singular or plural and is commonly used to describe nouns that have undergone the process of scattering, dispersion, or diversion. In everyday language it can also mean that attention or thoughts are being distracted or diverted, depending on the context.

In scientific and technical usage, rozpraszane describes waves, particles, or signals that have been redirected by a medium or obstacle. This yields a more diffuse or spread-out field than a direct, unscattered path. Typical phrases include rozpraszane światło (scattered light) and rozpraszane fale elektromagnetyczne (scattered electromagnetic waves). The term appears in optics, acoustics, and related fields to indicate the result of a scattering interaction.

Grammatically, rozpraszane functions as an adjective or participle form and agrees with the noun it modifies. It is used with neuter nouns in the singular (rozpraszane zjawisko) and with plural or masculine/feminine nouns in other forms (rozpraszane cząsteczki, rozpraszany bodziec). The related noun forms include rozproszenie (dispersion/scattering) and rozpraszanie (the act or process of scattering).

Outside science, the verb and its participle can convey distraction or diversion in more general language, for example rozpraszanie uwagi or rozpraszane myśli, where the sense is to cause attention to shift away. Overall, rozpraszane marks a state resulting from a scattering or diversion process, in both technical and everyday contexts.
