Question

A charged particle oscillates about its mean equilibrium position with a frequency of $10^9\, Hz$. The frequency of electromagnetic waves produced by the oscillator is

• A. $10^6\, Hz$
• B. $10^7\, Hz$
• C. $10^8\, Hz$
• D. $10^9\, Hz$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$10^9\, Hz$

Answer 2

The frequency of electromagnetic wave is the same as that of oscillating charged particle about its equilibrium position, which is $10^9\, Hz$.
