Click For Summary

In particle accelerators, particles emit electromagnetic (EM) waves due to acceleration. However, electrons in atomic orbitals do not radiate because their orbitals represent standing wave configurations, resulting in no net acceleration of charge. This distinction explains the difference in radiation behavior between accelerated particles and electrons in stable atomic states. The clarification resolves the initial confusion regarding radiation in these contexts. Understanding these principles is essential for comprehending the behavior of particles in both accelerators and atomic structures.

HI If in particle accelerator particles radiates EM waves then why electron does not in its orbit.

If you mean to ask why an electron in an atom doesn't radiate, it's because the electron orbitals in an atom are a type of standing wave configuration, which entails no net acceleration of charge.

Thanks doc you have solved the puzzle

Thread 'Using the "triple point of water" to produce ice -- How does that work?'

The video stated that at the surface, water was de-aerated and ice was formed using the triple point of water principle. It even showed a little snow ski slope was made as a demonstration. Unfortunately the physics behind this was not explained. The ice was used to chill the substantial flow of water being recirculated per second into the mine.
