POWER FLOW FROM A PLASMA HAVING COMPLEX ELECTROACOUSTIC WAVE IMPEDANCE.
Abstract
The complex electroacoustic wave impedance is examined and is related to power coupling at a plasma-vacuum boundary via the plane wave solution of Maxwell's equations. The reactive component of impedance is found to be important at frequencies less than the plasma frequency, where it contributes a significant amount to power flow. Thus at those frequencies serious errors can be introduced by assuming that the electroacoustic power is made up of the powers in the incident and reflected waves only. (Author)
