What is electromagnetic radiation? How is it produced?
(N/A) James Maxwell was the first to provide a comprehensive explanation regarding the interaction between charged bodies and the behavior of electrical and magnetic fields.
- When an electrically charged particle moves under acceleration,alternating electrical and magnetic fields are produced and transmitted.
- These fields are transmitted in the form of waves,which are known as electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic radiation.
