Comment on "Exact Expression for Radiation of an Accelerated Charge in Classical Electrodynamics"

arXiv:1211.5636 · doi:10.1007/s10701-012-9694-0

Abstract

It is shown that a newly derived "exact expression" for radiation of an accelerated charge in the recent literature is simply incorrect, having arisen because of a wrong relativistic transformation of the distance parameter. The ensuing claim that the newly derived expression alone that satisfies the energy conservation for the electromagnetic radiation, is based on a wrong reasoning where a proper distinction between the time during which the radiation is received and the time for emission (retarded time of the charge) was not maintained.
