Scientific paper

Peaks of linear polarization observed near the solar limb in Doppler cores of resonant Fraunhofer lines are investigated. The polarization is due to resonant scattering. It is shown that the well-known result of the scalar theory of line formation, i.e., the so-called sq rt of 1 - lambda law (where lambda is the probability of photon survival during scattering), can be generalized to include polarization. In addition, a vector generalization of Rybicki's quadratic integral of the radiative transfer equation is presented.
