Question 15 • (OC27) Earth/Space Sci-2001310-S2-Nelson

Explain how electromagnetic waves are produced.

Answer:

The source of electromagnetic waves are charged particles that begin to oscillate when acted upon by a disturbance. These oscillating particles create an oscillating magnetic field. The oscillating magnetic field then creates an oscillating electric field, and an oscillating electric field in turn creates an oscillating magnetic field.
