Paradox of radiation of charged particles in a gravitational field electric field has an accompanying magnetic field, and the whole oscillating electromagnetic radiation field propagates independently of the accelerated charge, carrying away momentum and energy. The energy in the radiation is provided by the work that accelerates the charge. The theory of general relativity is built on the equivalence principle of gravitation and inertia. This principle states that it is impossible to distinguish through any local measurement whether one is in a gravitational field or being accelerated. An elevator out in deep space, far from any planet, could mimic a gravitational field to its occupants if it could be accelerated
Negative refraction propagation direction of the light, thus the sign of "n" must be chosen to match the physical situation. The principal symptom of negative refraction is just that – light rays are refracted on the "same" side of the normal on entering the material, as indicated in the diagram, and by a suitably general form of Snell's law. Negative refraction Negative refraction is the name for an electromagnetic phenomenon where light rays are refracted at an interface in the reverse sense to that normally expected. Such an effect can be obtained using a metamaterial which has been designed to achieve a
