A theoretical description of micellar dye solutions containing donors and acceptors is developed. It is proved experimentally that the luminescent characteristics of Water-Triton X-100 solutions of Coumarine 1 as a donor and Rhodamine 6G as an acceptor are consistent with the proposed theory. It is shown that the probability of energy transfer between dye molecules and the number of detergent molecules in a micelle may be obtained.
