A series of spatial intensity profiles across the sunspot penumbra is obtained at different wavelengths within the CaII K line (see Figure 1). A number of photometric properties of the penumbra are outlined, which may be useful for constructing a relevant inhomogeneous model.

The peculiarities of magnetosensitive lines in the penumbral spectrum and the abnormal distribution of circular polarization in them are explained satisfactorily in terms of superposition of radiation originating in different elements of penumbral fine structure.

From investigating spectrograms of penumbrae of some sunspots it is concluded that the maximum magnetic field strength occurs in dark filaments and amounts to 1800-1900 G; the intensity of the magnetic field in dark filaments is 100-400 G larger than in the neighbouring bright filaments; the bright
