A useful approximation to radiative transfer in which the radiation undergoes at most one scattering event.

Single-scattering is most appropriate for scattering optical thicknesses less than about 0.1 when there is no absorption, but can be applied to thicker media as the single-scatter albedo is lowered.

A useful approximation to radiative transfer in which the radiation undergoes at most one scattering event.
