Abstract
It is the purpose of the present chapter to consider the interaction of electromagnetic waves and plasma for a special class of two-dimensional problems [Wait, 1961]. The geometry is chosen initially so the wave propagation is essentially transverse to the magnetic field. Such a restriction permits a straightforward and exact solution of a relevant boundary value problem to be obtained. When the magnetic field is not transverse to the direction of propagation the formulation is a great deal more complicated; however, approximate and useful results for such cases are considered in a relatively simple fashion. Finally, the results are used to demonstrate the importance of the terrestrial field in v.l.f. propagation.
