Abstract:
The question of the accuracy and the domain of applicability of the solutions of the transfer equation for the intensity of the scattered radiation which do not take account of the polarization state of the radiation is considered. Previously obtained numerical estimates of the differences of the solutions of the scalar and vector transfer equations are generalized and analyzed in the case of optically isotropic media and sources of wide unpolarized beams. A number of problems are clarified which pertain to sources of linearly polarized beams, where the question may be posed of using the scalar transfer equation instead of the vector equation.
