Scientific paper

Two different models of meteoric radiation, called Model A and Model B, have been considered by Opik (1933, 1963). Questions regarding the relative merits of the two models had been decided by Dalton (1969) in favor of Model B. The present investigation concerning an estimation of the influx of meteoric material to earth is based on photographic observations of meteors are sporadic and 94 are Perseids. On the basis of Model A for meteor radiation, the influx rate of material to earth is found to be 0.055 tons/day for the mass range of meteoric particles from 0.3 to 3 g, while the corresponding figure is 0.046 tons/day for Model B.
