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)
