Radiation by a uniformly moving charge is addressed. The Vavlov-Cherenkov effect, which is radiation from a charge moving faster than the speed of light in a spatially homogeneous, time-invariant medium, is discussed, and its occurrence in a variety of situations is examined. When a charge moves faster than light in an inhomogeneous and/or time-variant medium, it emits transition radiation. The simplest type of transition radiation occurs when a charge crosses a boundary between two media. In the case of periodic variation of the medium, transition radiation possesses some specific features, e.g., resonance transition radiation or transition scattering. The latter occurs particularly when a permittivity wave falls onto a nonmoving charge. Transition scattering is closely connected with transition bremsstrahlung radiation. The significance of these processes in plasma physics is assessed.
