Wow, what an outstanding contribution to plasma physics, thanks drdan!

The section on modes of propagation appears to have the geometries confused. O and X waves propagate perpendicular to B0, while R and L waves are parallel. This is noted in several texts as well as wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.252.194.235 ( talk) 00:13, 6 November 2007 (UTC) reply
