  1. How the electro-magnetic waves are produced by the accelerating charged particle? Graphical explanations are most welcomed.
  2. Is the explanation given by the below mentioned article correct regarding the movement of electromagnetic waves? http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Technology/tis/Why%20an%20Antenna%20Radiates.pdf

Graphical explanations are most welcomed.

This is my personal favorite one of those (from MTW's "Gravitation").

For an animation, see, for example this Java applet.

For another excellent, and non-mathematical explanation on the cause of radiation see this EDN article: Understanding electromagnetic fields and antenna radiation takes (almost) no math

It breaks down different concepts rather nicely with plenty of graphics. It is, in fact, referenced from the Bible itself (not the holy one, but the one called Art of Electronics by Horowitz ...which itself is certainly sacred :D )

The article can also be downloaded as a PDF.
