Dispersion relation of an electromagnetic wave in unmagnetized cold plasma

Plasma Physics 2008-09-15 v1

Abstract

The dispersion relation of an electromagnetic wave in an unmagnetized neutral plasma is well known to be w^2=wp^2+(ck)^2. A modified dispersion relation is presented taking into account the ion restoring force in the transverse direction.
