Electromagnetic Radiation
The four Maxwell's Equations provide a complete description of possible spatial patterns of electric and magnetic field in space.
The Main Idea
If a charge is moved sinusoidally it will emit continuous radiation.
A Mathematical Model
The position of the particle is defined by a sine wave:
y = ymaxsin(wt)
