Abstract
A rigorous solution is given to the Dirac radiation equations for a single radiative transition between two atomic states. The resultant formulas are valid for any appropriate variation with frequency both of the density of light quanta and of the matrix component for the transition. The usual infinity at high frequencies is eliminated naturally. Applications of the formulas are made for the case of an absorption or an emission line.
