The electromagnetic radiation emitted when a field of longitudinal plasma oscillations is incident on a localized fluctuation in density in a plasma is calculated. Use is made of the collisionless Boltzmann equation to describe the electron component of the plasma and compare the results with those previously obtained using the moment equations for this problem.
