"Waves in plasmas can be classified as electromagnetic or electrostatic according to whether or not there is an oscillating magnetic field. Applying Faraday's law of induction to plane waves, we find , implying that an electrostatic wave must be purely longitudinal. An electromagnetic wave, in contrast, must have a transverse component, but may also be partially longitudinal. From:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waves_in_plasmas In space is the rare plasma + dust. S* sure, and in the rare plasma of most of space omega-p goes to zero so the remaining waves are pure electromagnetic. you can only support those other wave types in a dense plasma as in the lower levels of the solar atmosphere or in a confined plasma in a laboratory. you might as well take the basic Maxwell's equations and claim they don't work on the Earth's surface because air has a different dielectric constant that in space... while this is true, the results are rarely measurably different than free space. |
