Answer:

A) An accelerating electric point charge (electron) emits electromagnetic waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The electromagnetic waves refer to the electromagnetic fields that propagate the energy throughout the space and they include the radio, micro and infrared ultraviolet, X and Y rays.
  • These are the oscillation of the electronic and magnetic fields and travel sat the speed of light denoted by c.
  • These waves are the charged particles and their interaction with other charged particles produces a force on them. These waves carry with them energy, angular momentum, and quantities of matter that interacts together.

Hello,

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question will be option A "An accelerating electric point charge (electron) emits electromagnetic waves." That's because electromagnetic waves are formed by motion of electrically charged particles (electrons)!

Your answer is A!

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
