  15. The following equation is suggested to describe the relationship between the light which is incident on the frog skin and that transmitted through it: I i is the intensity of the incident light, I t is the intensity of the transmitted light, R is the fraction of light absorbed by a variable pigment system, and C is the fraction of light not transmitted because of constant optical properties of the skin. R can be expressed in terms of the ratio of the total area blocked by opaque pigment particles, x, to the total area illuminated, A: It can then be shown that: where B = A − AC − x0 and x0 is equal to the initial area covered by opaque pigment particles.
