electromagnetic wave with phase velocity and particles in the plasma with velocity approximately equal to , which can interact strongly with the wave. Those particles having velocities slightly less than will be accelerated by the electric field of the wave to move with the wave phase velocity, while those particles with velocities slightly greater than will be decelerated losing energy to the wave: particles tend to synchronize with the wave. This is proved experimentally
