OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THICK LAYERS OF A UNIFORM DISPERSING MEDIUM (OPTICHESKIE SVOISTVA TOLSTYKH SLOEV ODNORODNOI RASSEIVAYUSHCHEI SREDY)

The article shows that an equation of transfer actually allows in a number of cases effective, approximate analytical solution, in which all properties of the environment are taken into account by a small number of empirical constants. The relationships obtained permit solving with rather high accuracy a very broad class of applied problems from many diverse fields. Finally, the obtained relationships create a theoretical basis for the formulation and solution of inverse problems of the theory of light distribution in dispersing media and a basis for the creation and development of methods of quantitative spectral analysis of dispersive substances. The author emphasizes that the solutions obtained pertain exclusively to monochromatic radiation. Edited machine trans. of mono.
