A generalized formalism on multiple small‐angle scattering is proposed to investigate the nature of the extractable structural information on inhomogeneities from the multiple‐scattering profile. It is found that the statistical nature of the medium can broaden as well as narrow the scattering profile depending upon the characteristics of the medium. The nature and the extent of the effect of the various approximations on analysing the multiple‐scattering data are discussed.
