Wawe motions . plasma oscillations are inherent to plasmas due to the ion electron species electric magnetic forces pressure gradients and gas-like properties that can lead to shock waves. 2 Transverse waves characterized by oscillating electric and magnetic fields with two possible oscillation directions called polarizations. Their behavior can be described classically via a wave equation derived from Maxwell s equations and also quantum mechanically. For the latter picture the waves are replaced by particles the photons. The frequency V and the wavelength À of an electromagnetic wave obey the relationship c kv where c is the speed of light. Depending on the frequency and wavelength of the waves one can divide the electromagnetic spectrum into different parts.

It along with its neutrino are the leptons in the first family of the standard model. electron affinity The decrease in energy when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form a negative ion. Second third and higher affinities are similarly defined as the additional decreases in energy upon the addition of successively more electrons. electron .
