| Abstract: | The basic laws of the phenomenological theory of radiative energy transfer are derived, under certain conditions, within the framework of the stochastic scalar wave theory. An equation of radiative energy transfer is derived for wave propagation in a statistically quasihomogeneous medium. Our results relate the extinction and scattering coefficients (which are introduced heuristically in the conventional theory of radiative energy transfer) to the stochastic characteristics of the medium. |
