Question

How are electromagnetic waves produced
​

Answer 1

Answer: Electromagnetic waves are the combination of electric and magnetic field waves produced by moving charges.

The creation of all electromagnetic waves begins with a charged particle. This charged particle creates an electric field (which can exert a force on other nearby charged particles). When it accelerates as part of an oscillatory motion, the charged particle creates ripples, or oscillations, in its electric field, and also produces a magnetic field (as predicted by Maxwell’s equations).

Once in motion, the electric and magnetic fields created by a charged particle are self-perpetuating—time-dependent changes in one field (electric or magnetic) produce the other. Both electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave will fluctuate in time, one causing the other to change.

Electromagnetic waves (photons) are produced anytime a charged particle experiences a change in velocity.. The electromagnetic wave (radiation) that is produced when the charge particle changes it’s velocity is how energy is conserved. This energy is light.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Electromagnetic waves are created by oscillating charges (which radiate whenever accelerated) and have the same frequency as the oscillation. Since the electric and magnetic fields in most electromagnetic waves are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave moves, it is ordinarily a transverse wave.
