Question
How does a charge oscillating with any frequency produces electromagnetic waves? Draw a schematic diagram by showing electric and magnetic fields for an electromagnetic wave transmitting along Z-axis.

Answer
When a charge oscillates with any frequency then it produces an electric field oscillating from that place. This produces an oscillating magnetic field. Oscillating magnetic field becomes a source to produce electric field and this process continues. In this way the electric and magnetic field vectors producing each other are mutually perpendicular to each other and also to the direction of propagation of wave.
