dc.description.abstract	Some models of the reflection nebula in the form of homogeneous plane parallel slab containing singly scattering dirty ice grains as test case have been given. The three geometric cases of the star behind, within and in front of the nebula have been considered. The size distribution of the grains has also been incorporated. We have calculated the nebular surface brightness and band integrated colours and polarization. The present results on the nebular surface brightness have been directly compared with the very recent far-ultraviolet observations of the Merope reflection nebula.	en
