4The parallel wave length λ is related to the parallel refractive index N of the rf wave by the simple relation λ = c∕fN,where f = ω∕2π. For the Lower Hybrid wave at fLH = 3.7GHz and NLH2, λLH2cm. From turwhich is much less than the wave length ^λ≃***cm of density fluctuation along the parallel direction. For the Electron Cyclotron wave, fEC = 110GHz and NEC0.2, so that λEC2cm is even smaller than λLH2cm as compared to ^λ.
