The linear Langmuir and electromagnetic (EM) waves in relativistic hot plasmas are discussed, and the dispersion relations are obtained based on the covariant Maxwell's and fluid equations. When kBT/mc2>1, the effective mass of electrons will be increased obviously. As the results, many other influences are induced, such as the decrease of the plasmas frequency and the critical frequency, the reduction of the electron sound velocity and the electrons' oscillation velocity, and so on. Numerical results show that these influences can affect the dispersion relations of Langmuir and EM waves seriously even in linear regime.
