Inverse problems of linear radiation-transfer theory for a plane layer of a medium that scatters and absorbs radiation
Abstract
The angular distribution and the spectral composition of emitted radiation are investigated for a scattering and absorbing medium. The physical characteristics of the medium that can be determined from the angular distribution of the emitted radiation are examined. The solution of inverse problems of the theory of radiation transfer for the case of a plane layer of a scattering and absorbing medium is found. This equation plays a fundamental role in the theory of the atmosphere of planets and stars, the diffusion theory of neutrons, etc.
