Abstract

The dispersion relation for a collisionless moving electron plasma when the directions of motion and wave propagation are normal to the magnetic field is analyzed. It is shown that the ordinary wave remains unaffected, but the extraordinary wave shows a different behaviour, especially at small phase velocities. It has different cut-off frequencies, propagates for all frequencies from zero to infinity, changes the sense of polarization accompanied by anomalous dispersion and does not show any resonance.
