| Summary |
The theory of the Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation observed by Cherenkov in 1934 was created by Tamm, Frank and Ginsburg who associated the observed blue light with the uniform charge motion of a charge at the velocity greater than the velocity of light velocity in the medium. On the other hand, Vavilov, Cherenkov's teacher, attributed the observed blue light with the deceleration of electrons. This has given rise to the appearance of papers in which the radiation of a charge uniformly moving in a finite space interval was related to the bremsstrahlung arising at the end points of the motion interv |
