Radiation damping refers to the phenomenon where the motion of charged particles, such as electrons, emits electromagnetic radiation, resulting in a loss of energy from the system. This loss of energy can affect the dynamics of the particle's motion, particularly when it is undergoing acceleration or oscillation. In classical electrodynamics, when a charged particle accelerates, it produces electromagnetic waves that carry energy away from the particle.
