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.

A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 144 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 6.0 cm. What is the magnifying power of the telescope? What is the separation between the objective and the eyepiece?
The magnifying power of a converging lens used as a simple microscope is $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}}\Big).$ A compound microscope is a combination of two such converging lenses. Why don't we have magnifying power $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big) \Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big)?$ In other words, why can the objective not be treated as a simple microscope but the eyepiece can?
