Concept explainers
To explain: Whether proton or vibrating neutron produces
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Electromagnetic waves are produced due to continuous change (vibrating) in electric and magnetic fields.
The basic conditions for the production of electromagnetic waves are that the particles should be charged particle and it should be in vibrating state. Since a proton is a positively charged particle, so it can produce electromagnetic waves and a neutron has no charge (charge less particle). Hence, it can’t produce electromagnetic waves.
Conclusion:
Hence, the proton can produce electromagnetic waves and a neutron can’t produce electromagnetic waves.
