Plasma Frequency Formula
The following equation is used to calculate a plasma frequency.
F = Sqrt [ ( E * C ) / ( P * M) ]
- Where F is the plasma frequency
- E is the electron number density
- C is the electric charge (-1.602176*e^-19)
- P is the permittivity of a vacuum (8.85418*e^-12)
- M is the mass of an electron (9.10938*e^-31)
In the above equation, all values are already entered except for the electron number density.
Plasma Frequency Definition
The plasma frequency is defined as the natural frequency at which the plasma of a particular material oscillates.
