The animation shows how static electric field lines from a positive point charge produce a radiation field if the charge is caused to oscillate. Notice how the electric field lines form waves that move away from the charge. What is the direction of the magnetic field associated with the waves to the right of the charge?
An oscillating point charge will produce a radiation field as shown in the above animation. In what direction is the radiation a maximum?
Three animations purport to show an E&M wave propagating in the z direction. The electric field is displayed in green and the magnetic field is displayed in red. Which animation correctly displays a physically acceptable configuration for these fields? The lengths of the E and B vectors are arbitrary, only direction and relative phase are important. You may click-drag in the animation to change the viewing angle.
The animation shows a broadcast radio wave. What type of wave is this? The electric field is displayed in green and the magnetic field is displayed in red. Start.
