Radiation from an accelerating charge is a basic process that can serve as an intersection between classical and quantum physics. We present two exactly soluble electron trajectories that permit analysis of the radiation emitted, exploring its time evolution and spectrum by analogy with the moving mirror model of the dynamic Casimir effect. These classical solutions are finite energy, rectilinear (nonperiodic), asymptotically zero velocity worldlines with corresponding quantum analog beta Bogolyubov coefficients. One of them has an interesting connection to uniform acceleration and Leonardo da Vinci's water pitcher experiment.

    An exactly solvable non-uniform electron trajectory yields classical radiation whose spectrum is precisely one-dimensional Planck, defining temperature T = ħκ/(2π k_B c).
