Abstract

An exact solution of the transport equation in radiative transfer for an axially symmetric Rayleigh scattering problem in semi-infinite planetary atmosphere both for emergent intensity and intensity at any optical depth has been derived with the help of the Laplace transform and the Wiener-Hopf technique, and by use of the constancy of net flux. Chandrasekhar's results for emergent intensity have been verified. New expressions for theH l andH r functions have been obtained.
