### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electromagnetic Wave Production**: - Electromagnetic (EM) waves are produced by accelerating charged particles. When a charged particle accelerates, it disturbs the surrounding electric and magnetic fields, resulting in the generation of EM waves. 2. **Key Concept**: - An oscillating charge creates a changing electric field, which in turn induces a magnetic field. This process continues, allowing the wave to propagate through space. ...
