The longitudinal development of a meson cascade in an EAS initiated by a photon of 10is ev is analysed using Landau's equation in approximation A and the total number of mesons created is estimated. On the assumptions concerning the multiplicity of photoproduction, multiple production in pi -nucleus collisions and photoproduction cross section, the number of muons in a cascade should vary in the 1300-1800 range. This means that the number of penetrating particles in a photon-initiated shower includes from 3 to 5% of that in a shower of the same size but initiated by a nuclear active particle. (auth)
