Temporal and spectral properties of Comptonized radiationRelationships are found between the temporal and spectral properties of radiation Compontonized in an extended atmosphere associated with compact accreting sources. It is demonstrated that the power spectrum density imposes constraints on the atmosphere's scale and profile. It is indicated that the slope and low frequency break of the power spectrum density are related to the Thomson depth of the atmosphere and the radius of its physical size, respectively. This relationship allows an independent estimate to be made of the accreting matter Thomson depth. The temporal properties of the high and low state of black hole sources are discussed.
