\section{Discussion of Results}  The measured data confirms Appleton's equation as a good theory for whistler waves in a plasma, with a majority of the theoretical data falling between the error bars. The data was mainly limited by the method in which the wavelengths were acquired. If the data set taken covered a larger set of radial positions as well as positions,  morecontained more points in general, more precise  wavelengths at larger angles  could have been measured. measured.If allowed to do the experiment, proper density measurements would have been taken to allow for greater precision for the index of refraction.
