Abstract
In the preceding Parts, the attenuation due to collisions has been taken into account in a rather crude way by introducing a so-called averaged “collision frequency”, \(\bar \nu \), which was not physically specified. In Equation (4.5) we have merely replaced the average particle acceleration by a formal tenir \((\dot v + \bar \nu v)\) instead of \(\dot v\). The conditions under which collisions influence the propagation of radio waves shall now be considered in more detail.1
