Scientific paper

The quasi-longitudinal and quasi-transverse approximations to the Appleton-Lassen refractive index formula for a homogeneous magnetoionic medium have been known and used for over half a century. An investigation is made so as to discover why these formulas take their particular forms. To this end, the basic propagation equations are generalized to n dimensions, and the corresponding refractive indices and their various aproximations are examined in their generality. A ladder of such formulas is produced, with the three-dimensional case sitting at its lowest rung.
