The propagation of a normal incident electromagnetic plane wave in a mixture of rare plasma and dense neutral gas is investigated by one dimensional model. The numerical results show that the amplitude of wave electric field is decayed dramatically and its phase is modulated obviously in a distance of a few wave lengthes due to the frequent collisions between electrons and neutrals (the collision frequency ν c is near or even larger than the wave frequency ω 0 ).
