By the use of the ·generalized Thomas-Fermi method a dispersion relation for the density waves in a condensed boson system is derived. Then a discussion is given of a critical phenomenon involving the excitation of these waves by particles injected with a given velocity (v) into the system. It is shown that, provided the imaginary part of a certain admittance constant is very small, a criti,cal velocity (vc) can be defined in the same way as was discussed first by Landau; above this value of velocity the system exerts a strong resistive force (F) on the injected particles. It is also shown that, for O
