This lecture covers the dispersion relation, two-fluid model, equilibrium in plasma, fluid equations for high-frequency waves, wave geometry, electron fluid motion, and the propagation of light waves in the ionosphere. It also discusses the index of refraction, phase and group velocity, cutoff frequency, critical density, and the behavior of waves at different layers in the ionosphere.
