A charged particle oscillates about its mean equilibrium position with a frequency of \(8 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~Hz}\). What is the frequency of the electromagnetic waves produced by the oscillator?

  1. A \(4 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  2. B \(1.6 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  3. C \(8 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  4. D \(2 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(8 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f_{EM} = f_{oscillator}\)
\(f_{EM} = 8 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
