I was wondering about EM waves produced by linearly accelerating charges, as opposed to oscillating charges.
With oscillating charges, the frequency of the wave depends on the frequency of the oscillation of the charge. But what determines the frequency of the wave produced by a linearly accelerating charge? How do they relate: i.e. does greater acceleration mean a higher frequency? And can anyone please direct me towards any materials that discuss this issue in detail?
