The propagation and absorption of slow waves in the plasma of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator was investigated by the ray tracing. The aim of the work was to obtain a qualitative picture of the penetration into the plasma of a wave excited by the potential difference between the antenna conductors and the antenna box. For this, a ray code was used, which performs calculations in the magnetic configuration of the stellarator obtained by the VMEC code. A strong influence of the type of magnetic configuration (“higher mirror”, “lower mirror”, or standard configuration) on the propagation and absorption of a slow wave was found.
