Problem 4.212

Find the mean radiation power of an electron performing harmonic oscillations with amplitude \(a=0.10 \mathrm{nm}\) and frequen cy \(\omega=6.5 \cdot 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)

Reveal Answer
P=14πε0e2a2ω43c3=51015 W\langle P\rangle=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{e^{2} a^{2} \omega^{4}}{3 c^{3}}=5 \cdot 10^{-15} \mathrm{~W}
