Abstract

A simplified model is proposed and mathematically simulated on a computer by the Monte-Carlo method to study the phenomenon of diffuse light scattering. The data of simulation yield the density functions of the pathlength distribution of light and several graphical relations for the reflection and transmission of light against the layer thickness and the absorptivity of the sample, respectively. The character of these graphical relations is in good agreement with experimental data.
