Comment on "Dispersion relation for MHD waves in homogeneous plasma"

Abstract

Pandey & Dwivedi (2007) again tried to claim that the dispersion relation for the given set of equations must be a sixth degree polynomial. Through a series of papers, they are unnecessarily creating confusion. In the present communication, we have shown how Pandey & Dwivedi (2007) are introducing an additional root, which is insignificant. Moreover, five roots of both the polynomials are common and they are sufficient for the discussion of propagation of slow-mode and fast-mode waves.
