Lecture

Emission of Electromagnetic Waves

Description

This lecture delves into the emission of electromagnetic waves by accelerated charges, focusing on the importance of understanding this process for interactions between light and matter. The instructor explains the generation of ultra high frequency waves, the concept of dipole antennas, and the relationship between accelerated charges and the emission of electromagnetic waves. The lecture also covers the implications of information transmission at the speed of light, the development of electric fields, and the orientation of magnetic fields in electromagnetic waves. Additionally, the discussion extends to the energy conservation in radiated power, the concept of dipole moments, and the generation of x-rays through bremsstrahlung. The presentation concludes with insights into accelerating charges to emit high-energy electromagnetic waves.
