Abstract
The assumption of complete redistribution in frequency used in the theory of transport of resonance radiation, when Doppler broadening is important, is shown to predict the correct number densities in the excited levels at large optical depth. The line shape, however, is not a Doppler distribution in the wings but decreases like .
