Plasma Frequency Calculator & Formula

Plasma frequency is a critical parameter that defines how electromagnetic waves propagate through ionized media such as plasma. It determines whether a wave is reflected or transmitted, making it essential in space communication, plasma physics and RF propagation studies.

EXAMPLE:

INPUTS:

• Number of ionized particles/Unit volume (electron density) = 1E18 electrons/m^3
• Charge of Electron = 1.602E-19 Coulomb
• Mass of Electron = 9.11E-31 Kg
• permittivity of free space = 8.854E-12 F/m

OUTPUTS:

• Electron Plasma Frequency (Angular), Wp = 5.64 x 10^10 radian/second
• Electron Plasma Frequency (Linear), fp = 8.98 x 10^9 Hz = 8.98 GHz

Plasma Frequency Formula

Summary: This calculator allows users to compute plasma frequency from electron density, helping bridge theoretical concepts with practical applications.
