The relationship between group path, phase path and absorption of radio waves is discussed and new approximations relating these quantities are presented. The new relationships include dependence on the angle between the wave normal and magnetic field directions and so, in contrast to other approximations they are not restricted to quasi-longitudinal or quasi-transverse situations. For deviative absorption it is found that the ordinary mode quasi-transverse approximation introduces errors of less than 5% except in the case of purely longitudinal propagation. For non-deviative absorption, use of the quasi-longitudinal approximation can introduce significant errors which particularly affect the determination of latitudinal variations in absorption.
