SUMMARY
The frequency of electromagnetic radiation emitted by an accelerated charge is determined by the time dependence of the acceleration. The total power of this radiation is given by the formula p=2/3 (k e^2 a^2)/c^3. The frequency varies for different observers unless the acceleration is periodic, leading to a broad range of frequencies. Understanding these principles is crucial for analyzing radiation patterns from accelerated charges.
