Synchrotron radiation refers to the intense light produced when high-speed charged particles, like electrons, move in a curved path or orbit. This radiation is emitted as the particles are accelerated or forced to change direction. The light produced is powerful and includes a wide range of wavelengths, from radio waves to X-rays, making it useful for various scientific research and applications.
