The department of physics, in coordination with Ibn Sina unit for e-learning and the continuing education unit at the college of science organized a virtual seminar entitled “Waves in Plasma” with the participation of a number of students, lecturers and researchers involved in the topic of the seminar from inside and outside the college.
The workshop aimed to introduce the concept of plasma with a special reference to its most prominent medical and industrial applications, as a complex liquid that supports many types of plasma waves and its recovery forces of kinetic pressure as well as its electrical and magnetic forces and its advanced industrial uses, particularly those requiring the generation of high thermal energy (welding process) such as chip industry, integrated electronic circuits, ultra-conductive wire industry, and long-distance satellite launches into space. The seminar was presented by Assist. Prof. Dr. Mohammad Ridha Abdul Amir, who at first identified the phenomenon of waves important to heat plasma and that constitute its instability and diagnosis, etc. in the vacuum, indicating the existence of only one wave pattern, namely the electromagnetic wave, stressing the spread of sound waves in the air is caused by electromagnetic waves, while the electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic waves spread in plasma. The lecturer recommended establishing other courses and events to discuss matters related to nuclear reactors that generate high temperatures and pressure.
