Abstract
Kane's one-dimensional model of the scattering of photoelectrons as they propagate to the emitting surface is generalized to the three-dimensional case. It is shown that this problem reduces to the Milne problem. An analytic expression is obtained for the probability of an electron's reaching the surface.
