Exploring the "Principle of invariance" and the method of "Linear images", the simple nonlinear conservative problem of radiative transfer is analyzed. The solutions of nonlinear reection-transmission and internal field problems of one dimensional scattering-absorbing medium of finite optical thickness are obtained, whereas both boundaries of medium illuminated by powerful radiation beams. Using two different approaches - a direct and inverse problem, the analytical solution of the internal field problem is derived.
