Radiation and Participating Media Interactions
Figure 4-20: Example of interactions between participating media and radiation.
In some applications the medium is not completely transparent and the radiation rays interact with the medium.
Let I(Ω) denote the radiative intensity traveling in a given direction, Ω . Different kinds of interactions are observed:
Radiative intensity in a given direction is attenuated and augmented by scattering:
