Abstract The electromagnetic properties of a metal are considered theoretically for strong quantization of the electron states in a magnetic field. It is shown that a large number of quantum waves should occur with velocities close to the discrete velocities of the electrons on the Fermi surface. The extensce of these waves is due to the absence of Landau damping in the interval between giant oscillation maxima.
