Abstract—The paper analyzes some experiments on Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on the face
(111) of silver monocrystals performed by A. Campion et al. From the existence of the forbidden line frame0 of
benzene, the conclusion about existence of the surface field, caused by atomic structure of the surface is made.
The relatively large intensity of this line allows to make a conclusion about large influence of the electromag-
netic field spatial inhomogeneity in crystals on their optical properties. The difference between this field and a
regular plane wave, which usually describes propagation of electromagnetic field in solids is named as a fine
light structure. The influence of this structure on optical properties of solids is pointed out.
