[PP1-4-1] General equation of radiative transfer.

The radiation traversing a medium may be attenuated, due to the density, mass scattering and absorption of material. In contrast, the radiation’s intensity can be strengthened by emissions from the material plus multiple scattering from all directions. The above interactions follow the general radiative transfer equation.
