For a half-space (Z greater than 0) homogeneous collisional warm plasma, the expressions for fields and penetration depth (in the unit of ion-collisionless-cold-plasma penetration depth) are derived and discussed numerically. It is concluded that the propagation of transverse waves is only slightly affected by the ion collisions and the applied magnetic field when the plasma frequency is greater than the wave frequency. For the plasma frequencies greater than or equal to the wave frequency, the damping of the wave is not affected by the changes in the ion collision frequency and the ion temperature. However, in this case the propagation of the wave is drastically affected by the applied magnetic field, and the wave damps quickly as the magnetic field strength or the gyrofrequency increases.
