How do electrons induce resonance in a cavity resonator?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Electrons induce resonance in a cavity resonator by interacting with the electromagnetic fields within the cavity. When electrons are accelerated, they can create oscillations in these fields, leading to resonance. The process involves electrons bouncing off the walls of the cavity, which enhances the electromagnetic waves at specific frequencies. This phenomenon is crucial in applications such as particle accelerators and microwave technology.

I've been reading lately in particle accelerators and electrons and it got me wondering.

How do electrons induce resonance in a cavity resonator? Do they have to first be accelerated to one of the walls of the cavity where they then bounce off toward the other wall?
