Abstract
New results in studies of the wave propagation in dusty plasmas are reviewed.
The recent advances which allow us to investigate self-consistently the
process of charging and its perturbations due to the collective oscillations
are discussed. Influences of the charging effects on Thomson scattering
as well as stimulated Brilloin scattering in equilibrium stationary dusty
plasmas are considered. It is demonstrated that the effect of capture
of electrons by the dust grains can give rise to a specific amplification
of waves in non-equilibrium non-stationary dusty plasmas.
