How does a charge q oscillates at certain frequency producing electromagnetic waves?

Any charged particle has an electric field surrounding it. If it oscillates, the electric field will continuously change, resulting in the production of a magnetic field, which is in phase with the electric field. But these two fields are perpendicular to each other. These two "oscillating fields" come together to form electromagnetic waves.

How is the eye related to the electromagnetic spectrum?
Electromagnetic spectrum is the range of wavellengths of different radiations reflected or emitted by objects with temperature above 0 k. Remote sensing technology make use of such radiations of certain wavelength in EM spectrum to distinguish different objects as different object radiates differently.
What is the electromagnetic spectrum.?
The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the entire range of frequencies that electromagnetic radiation can have. The EM spectrum is divided into sections based on the common characteristics that certain frequency ranges have. These sections are, in order from low to high frequency, radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light (which from low to high frequency is further divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. You can think of the EM spectrum as an invisible rainbow with visible light being a small part of it. And, like a rainbow, the edges of the divided sections are blurry; i.e. there is no exact frequency where one can say, for example, that this wave is no longer an X-ray, but is instead a gamma ray. it is waves of light in order of their wavelengths and frequencies APEX: A chart of frequencies of light waves.
Where can you find radioactive symbol?
in certain types of radioactive decay processes. it is not electromagnetic radiation.

The number of alleles of a certain type divided by the total number of alleles is what?
Alleles Frequency
How is frequency defined in electromagnetic energy?
in electromagnetic spectrum, the number of waves that pass a certain point in one second is the wave's what
What is the harp's oscillator?
A vibrating string ... oscillates at a certain frequency, like middle A might be @ 440 Hz. Each and every note has its own unique frequency or vibration rate - this is how we are able to recognize which note is being played or heard.
What does the frequency of a light wave tell you?
The frequency of a light wave determines its color. Refer to the electromagnetic spectrum to see the exact wavelengths of certain waves and what their colors would be.
Does the speed of the wave increase as you move from left to right on the electromagnetic spectrum?
No. As the radiation frequency moves from left to right in the frequency spectrum, the wave speed is the same in a certain medium -- in vacuum, it is 3E8 m/s. The energy increases with frequency, though.
How do stars use frequencies?
The electromagnetic radiation (including light) have frequencies. Stars may also pulsate (get larger and smaller, and thus brighter and less bright) at a certain frequency.
How does frequency vary different forms of electromagnetic radiation?
We call light electromagnetic radiation with certain frequencies; higher frequencies and we call it Ultra violet, X-rays and gamma radiation. Frequencies lower than light we call infra red, and radio.
Range of electromagnetic waves placed in a certain order is calle?

What do electoromagnetic waves travel through?
The name is "electromagnetic waves". They can travel through empty space, and - depending on the specific frequency - through certain materials. For example, light can travel through glass.
A certain wave has a wavelength of 45.0 meters and a frequency of 9.00 Hz What is the speed of the wave?
The speed of propagation of an electromagnetic wave (like light, which is an electromagnetic wave) is nearly the speed of light. It will actually be the speed of light in a vacuum. But it does travel a little more slowly depending on the medium through which it is traveling. (Like air.) The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is not a determining factor in finding its speed, but will certainly be a factor in determining its absorption by the medium. A radio wave of 9.5109 Hz is a really low frequency wave, and generating and transmitting it would be a pretty piece of engineering.
What is the most enegetic electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation, or light, is a form of energy. Light travels in waves at a constant speed, and so it always has a wavelenghth and a corresponding frequency. As the wavelength gets shorter, the frequency increases. As the frequency increases, the amount of energy carried per photon increases. Another word for frequency, when talking about light, is color. The visible frequencies of light range from red to violet, with red having the lowest frequency/largest wavelength and violet having the highest frequency/shortest wavelength. There are many times more frequencies of light that cannot be seen than can. Going more energetic from violet, you have ultraviolet (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays. Gamma rays are every color of light higher than a certain frequency, and so you could theoretically have a color of light with infinite energy in one photon, and it would still be a gamma ray.
Is frequency proportional to distance?
Frequency is proportional to time, the number of cycles at a certain frequency is proportional to its length(distance).
Is the electromagnetic spectrum harmful?
Certain parts of it can be. High frequency waves such as X-rays, gamma rays, and ultraviolet light can cause radiation burns and cancer. At the same time, life could not exist without the electromagnetic spectrum. The sun heats the earth through electromagnetic waves, and the light that drives photosynthesis is also part of that spectrum. Visible light, which allows us to see, is in the same range.
