Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium.
Basically it’s like a sonic boom but for light. Like when a charged particle moves faster than the speed of light in a local medium (e.g. light is 15 percent slower in water)

i just learned about this yesterday in chemistry! i love science
