Hertz proceeded in a step-by-step learning process, alternating experimental and analytical work to delineate properties of electromagnetic waves over a substantial portion of the radio frequency part of the spectrum. He discovered the surface photoelectric effect and experimented in the ultraviolet, "at the outermost limits of the known spectrum."

Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894) discovered electromagnetic waves around the year 1888 [3, Chapter I, pp. 107-1231; the results of his epoch-making experiments and his related theoretical work continned Maxwell’s prediction, and helped in the general acceptance of Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory.

Abstract. Heinrich Hertz’s decision to go to Helmholtz and to work in his laboratory in Berlin had great significance for his career in research. Helmholtz’s general outlook on science and physics had an initial bearing on Hertz’s own. Download to read the full chapter text. Chapter PDF. Keywords. Electromagnetic Wave. Material Dielectric.

Jan 1, 2019 · Using these basic instruments, Hertz was able to clearly demonstrate that electromagnetic waves did exist and that they travel, as suggested by Maxwell, at the speed of light. In the course of his experiments with electromagnetic radiation, Hertz did encounter some problems, primarily involving the detection of the small spark produced in the ...

We propose a revisitation of the original experiment performed by H. Hertz in 1888. With a simple setup it is possible to produce electromagnetic waves with a frequency in the range of 3 MHz. By performing Fourier analysis of the signal captured by a resonant antenna it is possible to
