What is the source of
The source of electromagnetic waves.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Electromagnetic waves are transverse oscillation of electric field and magnetic field perpendicular to each other and propagating in a direction perpendicular to oscillations.
When a charge particle oscillates about its means position (also considered as acceleration of particle) give rise to emission of radiations. These radiations are called electromagnetic waves.
Conclusion: Oscillating charges about mean position is the source of electromagnetic waves.
