Sound speed in a neutral gas
The waves are pressure waves propagating by collision.

4.6 Ion waves
In plasma, there is no ordinary sound waves because of the absence of collisions.
The perturbation on ions can propagate through electric field.

4.13 Experimental Applications of the EM waves in plasmas
• Measurement of plasma density with the cutoff phenomenon
by applying waves of varying frequency.

• plasma lens for EM waves
4.13(4)
A plasma lens has unusual optical properties, since the index of refraction is less than unity.
refractionofindex
A plasma confined in a long, linear, solenoid will trap the laserlight used to heat it only if the plasma has a density minimum on axis. The vacuum chamber has been omitted for clarity.
