Distinguish between synchrotron and cherenkov radiation
Answers
Cyclotron radiation is the radiation emitted by a non-relativistic charge when it is accelerated by magnetic field. Synchrotron is similar for a relativistic charge with relativistic beaming and characteristic frequency approximately γ2γ2 times the cyclotron frequency. Bremsstrahlung is the radiation emitted when a charge is accelerated as it approaches a different charged object, often a nucleus. In all three cases, we use Larmor's formula for the power emitted.
A relativistic particle experiences a force similar to the Lorentz force but of relativistic origin, the one that causes the Lense-Thirring effect, which is stronger near a massive object. Your description about a particle near the event horizon indicates that you're probably referring to Hawking radiation, which is due to quantum effects.
Synchrotron radiation (SR) is the electromagnetic radiation released by a charged particle beam in a circular accelerator. Cherenkov radiation is created by charged particles traveling faster than the speed of light in the air in the realms of astronomy and cosmology.
Synchrotron radiation :
- Synchrotron radiation (SR) is the electromagnetic radiation released by a charged particle beam in a circular accelerator.
- In the construction of electron synchrotrons and storage rings, synchrotron radiation is critical.
- The relevance of synchrotron radiation as a source of radiation for experiments is also significant.
Cherenkov radiation :
- Cherenkov radiation is created by charged particles traveling faster than the speed of light in the air in the realms of astronomy and cosmology.
- Cherenkov radiation is the light created by charged particles traveling faster than the speed of light through an optically transparent material.
- Cerenkov radiation can also be used to test whether Einstein's theory of relativity accurately describes nature.
