An Alfvén wave is a type of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave that propagates through a plasma in the presence of a magnetic field. Named after the Swedish physicist Hannes Alfvén, who first proposed their existence in 1942, these waves are significant in various astrophysical and laboratory plasma contexts.
