Magnetogravity wave

Last updated

A magnetogravity wave is a type of plasma wave. A magnetogravity wave is an acoustic gravity wave which is associated with fluctuations in the background magnetic field. [1] In this context, gravity wave refers to a classical fluid wave, and is completely unrelated to the relativistic gravitational wave.
