The Bohm-Gross dispersion relation refers to electron plasma waves, which are not the same as plasma oscillations. Plasma oscillations are free uncoupled oscillations, there is nothing such as a wave number or wave propagation. Electron waves do propagate.
- I have the terminology from Chen p. 130. What you say is logical, even if the usage is not universal. If it bothers you, you might want to clarify the different uses of the terms in this article, add some redirect pages, and maybe rename this page. --Art Carlson 12:03, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Page Request
I would like to request that this page be updated with a discussion of the dependence of the transparency of materials on the plasma frequency. Perhaps a separate page for "Plasma Frequency" should be made. Also, some clarification on warm and cold electrons would be nice. Sabers 16:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
