Abstract
The interaction of electromagnetic waves with plasmas plays a crucial role in a variety of scientific and engineering fields, including fusion energy, space physics, and plasma-based communication technologies. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms governing these interactions, emphasizing the role of plasma frequency, wave propagation, and energy transfer. We explore the effects of different types of electromagnetic waves—such as radio waves, microwaves, and laser beams—on plasma states, with particular attention to their applications in controlling plasma behavior for practical technologies like fusion reactors and plasma propulsion systems. By examining key theories, experimental results, and potential future advancements, we aim to offer a comprehensive overview of this important field.
