ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE

❑ Accelerating electrons produces electromagnetic

waves. These waves are combination of electric and

magnetic fields.

❑ A changing magnetic field produces an electric field

and changing electric field produces a magnetic field.

❑ As accelerated electrons produce an electric field of

wave, the varying electric field produces the wave’s

magnetic field.
