Abstract
The equations of light transfer in a turbid medium and transfer equations for electrons undergoing only elastic collisions in a solid body are shown to be equivalent. The angular distributions of elastically reflected electrons were calculated using the DISORT and MDOM optical codes. The calculation data are compared with the results of experimental measurements for the angular distributions of elastically reflected electrons and with calculations according to the Monte-Carlo method. Optical codes are shown to be highly efficient in calculating the angular distributions of electrons elastically reflected from multilayer media.
