What is electromagnetic radiation ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

James Maxwell was the first to give a comprehensive explanation about the interaction between the charge bodies and the behavior of electrical and magnetic fields.
When electrically charged particle moves under acceleration altermating electrical and magnetic field are produced and transmitted .
these field are transmitted in the forms of waves called electromagnetic waves of electromagnetic radiation.
