Most observed characteristics of type III bursts are accounted for by the ‘plasma hypothesis’ which implies that the radio energy is radiated from the coronal altitude where the local plasma frequency is close to the observing frequency and the index of refraction vanishes. Strong focusing is to be expected in the absence of scattering effects.
