Theoretical Physics Seminar
SPEAKER: Prof Jim McKenzie, UKZN, Westville Campus TITLE: MHD Waves in the Solar Atmosphere and the Earth’s
Magnetosphere. Klein – Gordon, Dirac Equations. ABSTRACT We develop the classical fluid equations for waves in a stratified atmosphere. (e.g. solar corona) and a dipole magnetic field (e.g. magnetosphere) and show that they can transformed into either are one – dimensional Dirac equations or Klein- Gordon equations. We discuss the eigenfrequencies and eigenfunctions.
