high-altitude burst
A high-altitude nuclear detonation that generates a high-energy electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is called a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) event. These detonations occur above 100,000 feet in the atmosphere and can disrupt or damage electronic devices over a wide area by inducing strong currents in electrical systems.
High-altitude burst
A high-altitude nuclear detonation occurring above 100,000 feet can generate a high-energy electromagnetic pulse (EMP) known as a high-altitude EMP (HEMP). This type of EMP can have long-range effects on electronic equipment and infrastructure by disrupting or damaging their functionality through the release of energy.

Electromagnetic waves are generated by the acceleration of charged particles, such as electrons, in an electric or magnetic field.
A high-altitude nuclear detonation above 100,000 feet can produce a high-energy electromagnetic pulse (EMP) known as a high-altitude EMP (HEMP). This type of explosion can disrupt electronic devices and communication systems over a wide area by producing intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation. It is a concern for national security due to its potential to disable critical infrastructure and military equipment.
High-altitude burst
A laser generates an electromagnetic wave operating at light frequencies.
An electromagnetic field is caused by electric charges in motion. When charged particles move, they create a type of energy called electromagnetic radiation, which generates an electromagnetic field. This field consists of both electric and magnetic components, propagating outwards from the moving charges.
A star is any hydrostatically stable plasma that generates heat and electromagnetic radiation by nuclear fusion.
It heats the filament (which glows and so generates electromagnetic energy).
