Light and Radio Radiations from a Moving Charged Particle

Abstract

Two types of electromagnetic radiation are identified: light radiation and radio radiation. Light radiation is due to aberration of electric field in the motion of a charged particle in an external electric field, where energy radiated, proportional to the square of amplitude of velocity, is the difference between change in potential energy and change in kinetic energy. This is so with electrons revolving in the electric field of the nucleus of an atom. Radio radiation, due to finite speed of light, whereby an oscillating charged particle generates a magnetic field in phase with an electric field, at a point in space, resulting in generation of energy, proportional to the square of amplitude of acceleration, as from a radio antenna. The electric field in the Poynting vector is the sum of external accelerating field and internal induction field due to acceleration of a charged particle, in accordance with Faraday’s law. The induction field also acts on the same charge creating it, to produce the inertial force, equal and opposite to the accelerating force, thereby explaining the cause of inertia. Radio radiation explains the presence of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation as a local phenomenon from within the atoms of a body.
