For very small volumes, the density will be 0 if the small volume does not contain an atom, or nonzero if it contains an atom. For larger volumes (such as with radio waves) the large volumes will always contain about the same number of atoms, so their density will all be about the same. If the wavelength is large enough, you can use this simplification of Maxwell's Equations. >> You want to argue that interstellar gas is continuous for radio waves? >> Fine, an excellent model.

Sorry, not valid. >Radio waves, light waves, and x-rays, all travel at the same speed, No, there is a small frequency dependent component for actual interstellar space. This is used to guesstimate distance to pulsars. >Mr. Moroney, and that speed is relative to the macroscopic medium, >not the observer, Mr.Moroney. Disproven by experiment. Ever since Fizeau and tests of the speed of light. Remember: "It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong." -Richard P. Feynman
