Abstract

Ball lightning is considered as a spherical standing wave of electromagnetic radiation trapped in a plasma shell. The shell is expelled out from an air-filled cavity by the ponderomotive force. The trapped radiation energy generates plasmas continuously through ohmic heating to prevent the shell from diffusing away. This consideration allows a quantitative analysis for the dimension, temperature, energy and life time of ball lightning.
