This chapter begins by expressing the multipole expansion of the dynamic vector potential A ( r, t) in terms of electric and magnetic multipole moments. Differentiation of A ( r, t) leads directly to the fields E ( r, t) and B ( r, t), which have a component transporting energy away from the sources to infinity. This component is called electromagnetic radiation and it arises only when electric charges experience an acceleration. A range of questions deal with the various types of radiation, including electric dipole and magnetic dipole–electric quadrupole. Larmor’s formula is applied in both its non-relativistic and relativistic forms. Also considered are some applications involving antennas, antenna arrays and the scattering of radiation by a free electron.

Using a generalized formulation of Kirchhoff's law it is possible to relate the equilibrium electromagnetic radiation spectrum of a body to its absorptivity spectrum. The microwave absorptivity of a uniform anisotropic plasma slab to a normally incident electromagnetic wave is obtained by matching fields at the boundaries and is solved completely for the model chosen.The absorptivity spectrum of the plasma slab is computed for waves propagating parallel to and normal to an applied static magnetic field for various electron densities, electron collision frequencies, and slab thicknesses. Peaks in the absorptivity spectrum occur around the edges of the "stop-bands". In general, the absorptivity increases with slab thickness and collision frequency. The effect of internal reflections is included and gives rise to undulations in the absorptivity spectrum.
