Abstract
The solution of the problem of diffusion of imprisoned resonance radiation obtained by Chandrasekhar is worked out in detail in the second approximation. Decay constants, characteristic roots and eigenfunction coefficients necessary for an explicit solution are tabulated for both large and small optical thicknesses. A comparison is made between computed and measured decay constants for the Hg 2537A resonance line.Keywords
