INTRODUCTION
In a medium with electric field E and a current of intensity J flowing, creating a magnetic field of intensity
H, the power dissipated and/or stored in a volume V or passing through area S, is given by the integrals:
P = E.J (dV ) = E H.(dS) = ( E f + Ea ) H.(dS)
(1)
V
where Ar is the magnetic vector potential [2] at a point P distance r from the charge at R. For a particle of charge
q, work done against the reactive force qEa is stored as kinetic energy of the particle.
The magnetic field H is obtained from the magnetic flux intensity B, as:
dA
B = o H = A r = r
(4)
dr
where is a unit vector in the RP direction and denote the curl of a vector. As a result of time r/c taken for a
cause at R to reach P distance r away, with the speed of light c, the retarded vector potential has to be used. This
brings out a second term in the expression for H, which is responsible for electromagnetic radiation.
The paper identifies two types of electromagnetic radiations or waves [3] which may be called light
radiation and radio radiation. Light radiation or wave is due to a moving electric charge having a component of its
velocity in the direction of an electric field. The result is a resistive or frictional electric field, which gives rise to
power radiation independent of frequency, as in the radiation from atoms. Radio radiation, is due to acceleration of
an electric charge producing a reactive electric field, which gives rise to power radiation proportional to the square
of frequency, as in the radiation from an antenna [4]..

2.1
Consider a particle of charge q set in oscillation, in the absence of any external electric field, with angular
frequency and velocity v, about an origin O. in the direction of unit vector , as shown in Fig.1. The oscillating
charge has a potential , sets up a magnetic field H and generates a reactive electric field Ea at a point P distance r
from O. The line OP, in the direction of unit vector , makes an angle with the velocity v. Let the velocity of the
particle, at time t, be:
v = a cos t = v m cos t
(5)
where a is the displacement amplitude and vm is the amplitude of velocity. The magnetic vector potential Ao, at R,
for a charged particle moving with velocity v is:
Ao = o oUv = o oUv m cos t
(6)
where U is the constant electric potential inside the charge. Magnetic vector potential Ar, at a point P distance r
outside the charge, is given by the equation:
q
r
A r = o o v = o
v m cos t
(7)

c
:At a point P distance r from the charge, present time t must be replaced by the retarded time (t r/c), as the effect
of any displacement about O, transmitted with speed of light c, takes time r/c to reach P. Since the amplitude of
oscillation is very small, distance of the point P from the oscillating charge remains practically at r.

The first tem in equation (34); independent of angular frequency , is the power radiated due to resistive or
frictional oscillation of a particle of charge q moving in an electric field of magnitude E. The second term,
dependent on 2, is the power radiated due to oscillation of the charge. In equation (34) there are two types of

electromagnetic radiations, different amplitudes and 90o out of phase. If E is zero, equation (34) reduces to
equation (17).

Figure 2 shows an electron of charge e and mass m revolving, in a radial electric field E, due to a
stationary nucleus of charge +Q at a point O. The electron, at R with its electric field Eo, sets up a potential and
magnetic field H at a far point P distance s from R and l from O. The electron moves in the Y-Z plane, under
attraction of the nucleus, with velocity v at R and angular displacement at O.

. What we have, in equation (41), is light radiation from an atomic particle.

The directivity of radiation is 1.5.There is no radiation normal to the plane of the orbit. As the electron
revolves in its orbit, the radiation is zero in the radial direction and maximum in the tangential direction.

CONCLUSION
In equation (17), for a charged particle under free oscillation, the radiation power is proportional to the
square of frequency, as is the case for radiation from a radio transmission antenna. In equation (26) for a charged
particle moving along an electric field, the radiation power, for a given frequency, is independent of the frequency,
as for power dissipation in a resistor.
In equation (34) power radiation consists of two parts. There is radio radiation, due to oscillation of an
electric current, proportional to square of frequency and there is light radiation due to motion of an electric charge
in an electric field. In equation (45), there is only light radiation from an agitated electron oscillating round a
positively charged nucleus of an atom. Both radio radiation and light radiation are electromagnetic radiations,
giving rise to heat radiation, but may suffer differently for transmission in a medium other than vacuum. For
example, while light radiation is transmitted through salty seawater, radio radiation is not.
The conclusion here is that, radio radiation due to an oscillating current in an antenna and light radiation
from an orbiting electron, are different. This may explain why light is transmissible in seawater but radio waves
are not.
