contents The results obtained using my computing program are consistent with the values obtained twenty years ago. It also makes me believe that how to obtain particle size information using the Light Scattering technique needs to be reconsidered. Static Light Scattering (SLS) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) are very important techniques to study the characteristics of nano-particles in dispersion. The data of SLS is determined by the optical characteristic and the measured values of DLS are determined by optical and hydrodynamic characteristics of different size nano-particles in dispersion. Then considering the optical characteristic of nano-particles and using the SLS technique further, the size distribution can be measured accurately and is also consistent with the results measured using the TEM technique. Based on the size distribution obtained using the SLS or TEM technique and the relation between the static and hydrodynamic radii, all the expected and measured values of $g^{\left( 2\right) }\left( τ\right) $ investigated are very well consistent. Since the data measured using the DLS technique contains the information of the optical and hydrodynamic properties of nano-particles together, therefore the accurate size distribution cannot be obtained from the experimental data of $g^{\left( 2\right) }\left( τ\right) $ for an unknown sample. The traditional particle information: apparent hydrodynamic radius and polydispersity index measured using the DLS technique are determined by the optical and hydrodynamic characteristics and size distribution together. They cannot represent a number distribution of nano-particles in dispersion. Using the light scattering technique not only can measure the size distribution accurately but also can provide a method to understand the optical and hydrodynamic characteristics of nano-particles.
