Backscattering
In telecommunication, the term backscattering is radio wave propagation in which the direction of the incident and scattered waves, resolved along a reference direction (usually horizontal) are oppositely directed. A signal received by backscattering is often referred to as "backscatter."
In optics, it is the scattering of light into a direction generally opposite to the original one.
