Abstract
We use a classical theory to propose a possible explanation for the cause of the enhancement of the intensity of Raman scattering by adsorbed molecules. We arrive at the conclusion that this effect may be due to a surface induced resonant Raman scattering. The dependence of the scattering intensity on the frequency of the incident light and the reasons for the different "enhancing efficiency" of various metals is analyzed.
