Abstract
A new category of "intrinsic" effects is proposed to be added to the two already known kinematic and dynamical categories. An example of intrinsic effect is predicted, its origin source is established, and a scheme of its experimental detection is proposed. This effect lowers to non-relativistic values the propagation velocity of a plane electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, when a time-independent homogeneous magnetic field is superposed over it. This result, pertaining to the classical Maxwell theory, follows from exact calculations. A critical remark on gravitational waves' detection is given.
