Abstract

The frequency shift of spectral lines generatedby single dynamic scattering is known from Wolf'spioneering work. The multiple scattering effect isdiscussed and for the case of redshift two main results are shown: (1) the multiple scattering effectcauses a larger shift than does single scattering, and(2) m scatterings with scattering angle θ/m eachproduce a larger shift than that done by n scatterings with scattering angle θ/n each if m >n. These results might be of particular interest inconnection with the observed spectra ofquasars.
