Abstract :
The derivation of dispersion equations for electromagnetic waves in moving media is considered. Absorption is included. It becomes clear that conduction current or polarization current models lead to identical dispersion equations in moving media. The invariance of dispersion equations is defined and discussed. The question of velocity induced wave modes in moving media is considered, and conditions for appearance of these new modes are stated.
