What effect accelerates plasma radio-wave propagation in space?

💡 Explanation

Alfvén waves cause density fluctuations; due to electron MHD, they result in faster propagation. Magnetosonic mechanism causes this, because the non-linear properties of Alfvén resonances modify index of refraction; therefore, waves accelerate, rather than decelerate through collision or simple damping.
