Scientific paper

Radiative transfer equations for polarized radiation are derived, assuming the Mueller matrix of the Stokes parameters is constant along the ray-path. The analytical solution to the radiative transfer equations is obtained within the framework of a general formalism. Results are given in the form of an analytical approximation of the Stokes parameter profiles for a typical chromospheric line having an optical depth dependence of the source function of the form S(tau) = (epsilon + delta)exp 1/2(1 + tau)exp 1/2.
