In solar radiophysics,many theories for type Ⅲ bursts have been proposed during the past 60 years.Almost all these theories are based on the plasma hypothesis,which assumes that(i)the radiation is mainly generated by Langmuir waves via nonlinear processes and(ii)the radiation has frequencies close to the local plasma frequency and/or its second harmonic in the source region. We feel strongly that it is time to advocate an alternative approach without recourse to the plasma hypothesis.This brief discussion explains why.
