The Appleton–Hartree equation is a fundamental equation in ionospheric physics that describes the behavior of radio waves in a plasma, particularly in the ionosphere. It relates the refractive index of a plasma to various parameters such as the electron density, the frequency of the radio wave, and the Earth's magnetic field. The equation is commonly used to understand how radio waves propagate through the ionosphere, which is a region of the atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation.
