Abstract
We present a condition for generating the same scattered spectral density by random and deterministic media. Examples of light waves on scattering from a Gaussian-centered deterministic medium and a Gaussian-correlated quasi-homogeneous random medium are discussed. It is shown that the normalized far-zone scattered spectral density produced by a Gaussian-centered deterministic medium and by a Gaussian-correlated quasi-homogeneous random medium will be identical provided that the square of the effective width of normalized correlation coefficient of the quasi-homogeneous random medium is twice the square of the effective width of scattering potential of the determinate medium.
