A Note on the Opacity of the Sun’s Atmosphere

The opacity of the atmosphere of the Sun is due to processes such as Thomson scattering, bound–bound transitions and photodetachment (bound–free) of hydrogen and positronium ions. The well-studied free–free transitions involving photons, electrons, and hydrogen atoms are re-examined, while free–free...
