Hello,
I've been puzzling over how radio waves and other EMR are formed at the subatomic level. I understand how to produce radio waves using a function generator but I do not understand how an antenna can emit a radio wave (among other types of EMR).
I've asked several people this, but all I've received is "It just does!" Well, that's not good enough for me. How do electrons flowing through a series of atoms produce EMR like radio frequencies? What steps are involved?
Regards,
-Tay
