E-M radiation
- electron running into wall and stopping
- acceleration, therefore radiation
- this is how x-rays are produced in doctor’s office
- electrons accelerated and slammed into fixed target
- high energy electron creates high energy photons (x-rays)
- steady DC current in a wire
- no acceleration, no radiation
- AC current in wire
- acceleration and deceleration implies radiation produced
- 60 Hz radiation is running around this room
- This is how radio transmitters work
- electron orbiting in a circle
- the curved path implies acceleration and, hence, radiation
