Abstract
A discussion is given of the correspondence principles in radiation by a point magnetic moment. It is shown that just as in the particular examples considered previously, the angular and spectral-angular distributions of the radiation, and its power in the classical and quantum radiation theory differ only by a coefficient of 1/4. It is established that this difference results from the fundamentally differing nature of the emission in the classical and quantum theories. In the quantum radiation theory the spin magnetic moment is explained by spin-flip transitions adapted to the direction conserving the spin, whereas in the classical theory this radiation is due to spin precession about the magnetic field.
