Scientific paper

The behavior of phase speed for 'slow' and 'fast' magnetosonic waves is well documented in the literature. Not so well documented is the behavior of the ray direction and its relation to the phase direction - indeed the ray behavior recorded in most of the standard plasma physics texts has not been found. This situation is rectified, and some of the curiosities associated with the direction of the 'slow' ray relative to the direction of the 'slow' phase wave are indicated. These calculations have been performed as a necessary basis for discussion of phase and ray evolution of magnetosonic waves in differentially shearing plasmas.
