Abstract: We discuss the concept of natural geometry for a physical field. We show that using this concept to solve problems of nonlinear electrodynamics allows simply studying basic effects of nonlinear electrodynamics arising when weak electromagnetic waves propagate in external electromagnetic fields.

Keywords: physical field, natural geometry, metric tensor, equation of a ray.
