Cherenkov Radiation: Faster-Than-Light Particle Emission in Media
Cherenkov radiation, a blue glow observed around nuclear reactors, occurs when a charged particle moves through a medium faster than light's speed in that medium, forming a cone-shaped wavefront. The angle of this cone reveals the particle's speed, enabling detection in various fields.
