Scientific paper

A diffraction mechanism is proposed to explain the enhanced opposition effect of surface brightness with an increase in the degree of dispersion of a medium. According to the present model, the phenomenon is due to the interactions of light beams with the same scatterers. Simple formulas are obtained for the phase dependence of the brightness in the region of the opposition effect. The results are pertinent to the study of atmosphereless planets (e.g., Mercury and Pluto).
