(D. R. Nicholson ~ 1.3) In the deduction of the electron plasma frequency, suppose the ions are not infinitely massive, but have a mass \(m_i\) and can moce.

Modify the discussion to show that the coupled oscillation of the electron and ion ``slabs  is made with the total plasma frequency 
\((\omega_p^2 = \omega_{pe}^2 + \omega_{pi}^2)\).
