Interaction between whistler waves and low energy electrons is considered to be essential for injection problems at collisionless shocks. We analyze an interplanetary shock (IPS) observed by GEOTAIL on 15 July 2000, fo cusing on whistler wave properties. In this IPS event, gradual increase of wave intensity toward the shock front has been identified from the lower frequency range of Alfv´ne waves to that of whistler waves. It is suggested that this continuous increase is due to the whistler waves generated from turbulence, cascading from Alfv´n waves e self-generated by protons. We discuss the contribution of these `proton assisted' waves to the electron acceleration.
