Abstract
Synchrotron light is usually treated with a rather complicated electrodynam ics formalism. However. its basic properties can be easily understood with a simple approach based on the classical emission of electromagnetic radiat ion by an accelerated charge in a constant or periodic magnetic field, on a combination of relativistic phenomena (Lorentz contraction and Doppler eff ect) and on simple Fourier-theorem arguments.
