      Discovery of radio waves

      • Hertz's contribution to the spectrum was his discovery of radio waves. Hertz performed more experiments and was soon able to fully verify Maxwell's theory. He demonstrated that the energy radiating from his electrical oscillators could be reflected, refracted, and could produce interference patterns and standing waves similar to light.

  3. Feb 22, 2012 · Summary. Heinrich Hertz was a German physicist and mathematician best known for his discovery of what became known as wireless waves. View two larger pictures. Biography. Heinrich Hertz's parents were Gustav Ferdinand Hertz and Anna Elisabeth Pfefferkorn. Gustav Hertz was a Jew who converted to become a Lutheran.

  4. Jan 1, 2019 · In the late 1800s, a number of physicists attempted to detect and generate electromagnetic waves in order to prove James Clerk Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, which was published in 1865. The first to actually accomplish this feat was Heinrich Hertz, who constructed an oscillator formed from brass knobs.

  5. The man whose elegant experiments finally transformed a contested theory into a universally accepted model of reality was Heinrich Hertz, a brilliant German of Jewish origin who was prevented only by his untimely death from revolutionizing more than one major area of physics.

  6. Oct 12, 2012 · Heinrich Hertz was a brilliant German physicist and experimentalist who demonstrated that the electromagnetic waves predicted by James Clerk Maxwell actually exist. Hertz is also the man whose peers honored by attaching his name to the unit of frequency; a cycle per second is one hertz.

  7. The German physicist Heinrich Hertz is widely known for being one of the first scientists to broadcast and receive electromagnetic waves, but he is also important for his contributions to the field of optics.

  8. Heinrich Hertz, as the con­ summate experimentalist of 19th century technique and as brilliant clarifying critic of physical theory of his time, achieved one of the fulfilments but at the same time opened one of the transition points of classical physics.
