[edit] Summary

Description

Cherenkov radiation from a charge particle nearly at the speed of light moving in a medium with index of refraction n = 1.25. Wavefronts emitted at times 0,1...5 form a shock-front cone with an opening angle α=arcsin(0.8). Caution: this hand-coded image has librsvg rendering errors. An alternative verison has been provided for use when the hand-coded nature of this image is not of importance. See below.
