            Abstract : 
Summary form only given. The manner in which L-K transitions reflect radiation impinging upon a plane layer of given thickness is investigated. It is assumed that the energy distribution of the incident photons is a Planck function. Fluorescence due to K-shell vacancies produced by photoionization is the only effect taken into consideration. Solving the transfer equation allows the reemitted flux and, consequently, the albedo of the layer to be calculated
