✦ Synopsis

A solution to the interJection problem in rooms lit by peaked ceilings is incestiyated. The integral equation for interjlections in the peaked ceiling is formulated. A method ~fsoluin~g the integral equation by employing linear approximations is dez;eloped. This ,shows /hat unijtirm incident light on the peaked ceiling will result in nonuniformity. An equation is dericed which gives the degree oj'nonun@wity in the incident light requiredfor a uniform ceiling. The actual incident distribution of'ligllt,~om,puorescent lamps is expressed simply in prolate spheroidal coordinates.
