The probability is calculated for a four-wave process in which a Langmuir wave combines with two low frequency (ion sound) waves to produce another Langmuir wave or a transverse wave. The major part of the calculation involves relevant approximations to the quadratic and cubic nonlinear response tensors. An estimate based on observational data from the interplanetary medium suggests that the four-wave process may be significant in solar radiophysics.

The ISEE-3 spacecraft has provided in situ observations of electron beams, plasma waves, and associated solar type III radio emission in the interplanetary medium near 1 AU. These observations show that electron beams are formed by the faster electrons arriving before the slower ones, following an impulsive injection at the Sun. The resulting bump-on-tail in the reduced one-dimensional distribution function, f(v||), is unstable to the growth of electrostatic electron plasma (Langmuir) waves. The Langmuir waves are observed to be highly impulsive in nature. The onset and temporal variations of the observed plasma waves are in good qualitative agreement with the wave growth expected from the evolution of measured f(v||). However, far higher Langmuir wave intensities are predicted than are detected. In addition, the lack of obvious plateauing of the bump-on-tail suggests that the waves have been removed from resonance with the beam electrons by some wave-wave interaction. Bursts of low frequency, 30–300 Hz (in the spacecraft frame) waves are often found coincident in time with the most intense spikes of the Langmuir waves. These low-frequency waves appear to be long-wavelength ion acoustic waves, with wave number approximately equal to the beam-resonant Langmuir wave number. The observations suggest several possible interpretations: modulational instability, electrostatic decay instability, and electromagnetic decay instability; but none of these are fully consistent with the observations. Microstructures, too short in duration to be resolved by present experiments, have been invoked as an explanation of the phenomenon. Experiments are currently being developed to study these processes using fast wave-particle correlation techniques.

Propagation of waves in inhomogeneous, hot, isotropic plasma is described, assuming that the wavelength is much smaller than the scale-length of the plasma. The effect of the magnetic field topology on properties of waves is discussed in some detail. Coupling between the modes of oscillations is always present in an inhomogeneous ‘hot’ plasma. It is particularly strong for magneto- dynamic and sound waves propagating essentially along the fleidlines in the vicinity of a point where the phase velocities of the two modes are equal.

WHO (World Health Organization) concludes that not much effect is caused by electric field up to 20 kV / m in humans. WHO standard also mentions that humans will not be affected by the magnetic field under  100 micro tesla and that the electric field will affect the human body with a maximum standard of 5,000 volts per meter. In this study did not discuss about the effect of high voltage radiation SUTT (High Voltage Air Channel) with human health. The research will focus on energy utilization of SUTT radiation. The combination of electric field and magnetic field on SUTT (70-150KV) can generate electromagnetic (EM) and radiation waves, which are expected to be converted to turn on street lights around the location of high voltage areas or into other forms. The design of this prototype works like an antenna in general that captures electromagnetic signals and converts them into AC waves. With a capacitor that can store the potential energy of AC and Schottky diode waves created specifically for low frequency waves, make the current into one direction (DC). From the research results obtained the current generated from the radiation is very small even though the voltage is big enough.Keywords : Radiance Energy, Joule Thief, and  LED Module.

We consider the solutions of two integrodifferential equations in this work. These equations describe the ultra-low frequency waves in the dipol-like model of the magnetosphere in the gyrokinetic framework. The first one is reduced to the homogeneous, second kind Fredholm equation. This equation describes the structure of the parallel component of the magnetic field of drift-compression waves along the Earth’s magnetic field. The second equation is reduced to the inhomogeneous, second kind Fredholm equation. This equation describes the field-aligned structure of the parallel electric field potential of Alfvén waves. Both integral equations are solved numerically.

AbstractLightning superbolts are the most powerful and rare lightning events with intense optical emission, first identified from space. Superbolt events occurred in 2010-2018 could be localized by extracting the high energy tail of the lightning stroke signals measured by the very low frequency ground stations of the World-Wide Lightning Location Network. Here, we report electromagnetic observations of superbolts from space using Van Allen Probes satellite measurements, and ground measurements, and with two events measured both from ground and space. From burst-triggered measurements, we compute electric and magnetic power spectral density for very low frequency waves driven by superbolts, both on Earth and transmitted into space, demonstrating that superbolts transmit 10-1000 times more powerful very low frequency waves into space than typical strokes and revealing that their extreme nature is observed in space. We find several properties of superbolts that notably differ from most lightning flashes; a more symmetric first ground-wave peak due to a longer rise time, larger peak current, weaker decay of electromagnetic power density in space with distance, and a power mostly confined in the very low frequency range. Their signal is absent in space during day times and is received with a long-time delay on the Van Allen Probes. These results have implications for our understanding of lightning and superbolts, for ionosphere-magnetosphere wave transmission, wave propagation in space, and remote sensing of extreme events.
