The semiclassical, optical potential, and quantal distorted wave theories of collision-induced radiative quenching are discussed and the relationships between them are presented. The three procedures are applied to the calculation of the cross sections at thermal collision energies of the process He(2 $^{1}\mathit{S}$)+He(1 $^{1}$S)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}He(1 $^{1}$S)+He(1 $^{1}$S)+h\ensuremath{\nu}. Several choices of the potential energy curves of the excited A $^{1}\ensuremath{\Sigma}_{u}^{+}$ state of the $^{4}$${\mathrm{He}}_{2}$ molecule are employed. The accuracy of the semiclassical and optical potential methods is assessed by comparison with the quantum-mechanical theory. It is shown that the cross sections are sensitive to the barrier in the A $^{1}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}_{\mathit{u}}^{+}$ potential but the major uncertainty in the predicted cross sections lies in the adopted transition dipole moment.
