The resonance interaction of plasma particles with a nonmonochromatic transverse wave whose group velocity is equal to the energy-transport velocity is analyzed. The analysis is based on the dynamic invariants of the charged particles in the electromagnetic plane wave. The reduction of the modulation amplitude (conversion to a monochromatic wave) is studied in a homogeneous plasma with low collision frequency and in an inhomogeneous, collisionless plasma. The collisionless conversion to a monochromatic wave in an inhomogeneous plasma is shown to be the more important and can generate accelerated particles and remove the amplitude modulation component. The accuracy of the adiabatic invariant for the trapped particles is studied.
