Abstract
The problem of the softening of radiation by multiple Compton scattering in an atmosphere of free electrons is considered. An idealized problem in plane-parallel atmospheres is formulated and the appropriate equation of transfer is approximately solved. The modified distributions with wave-length of the radiation emergent after transmission through various optical thicknesses of an incident monochromatic flux of radiation are tabulated. The calculations show that there is a relatively high probability for quite large shifts after transmission through optical thicknesses of order even unity.
