Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
The fundamental dispersion relation of transverse electro-magnetic waves in a cold collisionless plasma is formally equivalent to the two-dimensional dispersion relation of inertio-gravity waves in a rotating shallow water system, where the Coriolis frequency can be identified with the plasma frequency, and the shallow water gravity wave phase speed plays the role of the speed of light. Here we examine this equivalence and compare between the propagation wave mechanisms in these seemingly unrelated physical systems.
