The actual relation is that anytime an electron is forced to slow
down, the energy now in excess evacuates as a photon. The
process is called bremmstrahlung, and although all occurences
boil down to this, it is seldom refered to as such.

Are you saying that all radiation is bremmstrahlung,? I got my a**s chewed
pretty fiercely by a couple of High Energy folks when I suggested that on a
different thread. They maintained that bremmstrahlung is strictly a High
Energy phenomenon that manifests itself then near-light-speed charges either
bang into one another (or something else) and move suddenly in a different
direction OR come to a (forced) screeching halt.

Suggested reading on this phenomenon?

Because each of them, after having been emitted previously by a
slowing
down electron, travels as a self sustaining and self propelling
quantity
of energy as part of its energy oscillates between an electric state
and
a magnetic state.

NOT SO! In an Electromagnetic (EM) wave, the E and H components are in
phase. There is no possibility for such a system to oscillate from one state
to another. Both states exist at the same time.
