Lecture

Two-Fluid Waves

Description

This lecture covers the two-fluid waves in plasma physics, focusing on the dispersion relations for waves propagating parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field. It includes discussions on cold plasma equilibrium, linearization, Fourier mode analysis, and the distinction between right- and left-handed waves. The instructor explains the ordinary and extraordinary modes, providing a comprehensive overview of the two-fluid model and its implications in various wave phenomena.
