Abstract
We consider the problem of determining the statistical properties of radiation that emerges from a medium with randomly distributed inhomogeneities when the scattering process is allowed. The analytical formalism we put forward is based on Ambartsumian’s method of addition of layers. It is shown that certain specific features of the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) spectra of quiescent prominences may be explained generally by the results obtained.
