Thanks for the reply, would the following description be accurate? Electromagnetic radiation is just a by-product of oscillating a charged particle. That is, when you move a charge, it changes the electric field, but that change in the electric field propagates outward from the charge at the...
Hi, just trying to better understand this concept of electromagnetic radiation.
My understanding thus far is that it is a traveling disturbance in the electric field. This picture here seems to help me see what is happening...
Assuming for now a simple photon particle model for light, where you have a stream of photons traveling with a certain frequency.
Picturing this in my head on a number line, with just 3 photons at a time, and let's just say the wavelength is 1 and speed is 1, and at time t=0 we have a photon at...
