[QUOTE="ZapperZ, post: 6028573, member: 6230"] Is a particle moving around in a circle accelerating? If yes, then look up cyclotron radiation. I can also jiggle a bunch of electrons up and down, as if they are at the end of a spring. Is this both accelerating and decelerating? Yet, this is more than just a silly analogy, because many light sources around the world generate light when relativistic electron bunches passes through a series of wigglers or undulators that cause them to move just that and generate everything from IR to UV to x-ray to hard x-ray. FEL works on such a principle. Zz. [/QUOTE]
