摘要：
A phenomenon analogous to the conical refraction widely known in crystalo-optics and crystalo-acoustics is discovered for the magnetohydrodynamical waves in a collisionless plasma with anisotropic thermal pressure. Angle of the conical refraction is calculated for the medium under study which is predicted to be 18 degrees 26'. Possible experimental corroboration of the discovered phenomenon is discussed.
