When an external magnetic field is present within plasma, it is a transverse wave that travels along the magnetic field while oscillating perpendicular to the magnetic field. It is so named because it was discovered by Swedish physicist Alfvén, but he himself named it a magnetohydrodynamic wave. A particle system made up of charged particles (ions, electrons), in other words, plasma, is called the fourth state of matter, and various types of waves exist. Alfvén waves are the same as the waves that arise when a string is vibrated, with the magnetic field lines playing the role of the string, and if magnetic tension B 2 /μ ( B is the magnetic flux density) is used instead of string tension S , and the plasma has a density of ρ, the propagation speed of the wave is [Ryo Ikeuchi] [References] | | | | |Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
プラズマ中に外部磁場が存在するとき、磁場に垂直方向に振動しつつ磁場に沿って進行する横波。スウェーデンの物理学者アルベーンが発見したのでこうよばれるが、彼自身はこれを磁気流体波と名づけた。荷電粒子(イオン、電子)の集まった粒子系、つまり、プラズマは第四の物質状態とよばれ、いろいろな波が存在する。アルベーン波は、紐(ひも)を振動させたときにおこる波と同じで、磁力線が紐の役割を果たしており、紐の張力Sのかわりに磁気的張力B2/μ(Bは磁束密度)を用い、密度ρのプラズマとすると、波の伝播(でんぱ)速度は、 [池内 了] [参照項目] | | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
