In a high frequency discharge plasma resonance maximizes the electric field, thus producing a high ionization rate in the regions near resonance. The effect of this on the distribution of electrons and of ionization in a parallel plane discharge is calculated and compared with the observation that the light from such a discharge often is a minimum at the center.
