A method for calculating light curves of a close binary system consisting of two spherical components imbedded in a common, spherically symmetric, isotropically scattering envelope with radial opacity gradient is proposed. It is shown that the observed light curves of close binaries can be interpreted in the framework of the adopted model with accounting for stellar eclipses combined with the effect of periodically variable screening of stellar radiation by the envelope. The model curves are compared with the light curves of AO Cas, RY Gem, VW Cep, the orbital elements and the parameters of the envelope are determined for these systems. The conclusion is drawn that AO Cas is a spectroscopic, rather than an eclipsing binary imbedded in a common scattering envelope of free electrons.
