Out of the following options which one can be used to produce a propagating electromagnetic wave?

A

A charge moving at constant velocity

B

A stationary charge

C

A chargeless particle

D

An accelerating charge

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Accelerating charge produces oscillating electric field, oscillating electric field produces oscillating magnetic field, again oscillating magnetic field produces electric field and so on. Hence, EM wave produces.
