Document Summary
Death spiral of electron - due to charge and acceleration. Quantization: fundamental assumption of early science was that nature is continuous. Wave motion and light light originally considered to consist of particles whose motion imparts them with energy. Newton discovered that white light can be broken down into components . Maxwell suggested that light consisted of waves. Wave : i . amplitude : maximum displacement . The of radiation . ( amplitude ) determines the intensity. C = v x ( = 3 x 108 m/s wavelength and frequency are inversely related c- Electromagnetic radiation light magnetic fields perpendicular is a form of electromagnetic radiation : consists of oscillating electric and to the direction in which the light is propagating. An electric field exerts an influence on charged particles. A magnetic field exerts an influence on moving charged particles . Range of wavelength and frequencies of electromagnetic radiation : electromagnetic spectrum.
