- It took almost a quarter of a century before Hertz discovered electromagnetic waves and his brilliant experiments confirmed Maxwell's theory. Maxwell's ideas and equations were expanded, modified, and made understandable by the efforts of Hertz, FitzGerald, Lodge, and Heaviside, the last three being referred to as the "Maxwellians."

Maxwell's equations also inspired Albert Einstein in developing the theory of special relativity. The experimental proof of Maxwell's equations was demonstrated by Heinrich Hertz in a series of experiments in the 1890s. After that, Maxwell's equations were fully accepted by scientists.

Maxwell’s ideas and equations were expanded, modified, and made understandable by the efforts of Hertz, FieGerald, Lodge, and Heaviside. the last three being referred to as the “Maxwellians.” The early history of electromagnetic waves, up to the death of Hertz in 1894. is briefly discussed.
German physicist Heinrich Hertz discovered radio waves, a milestone widely seen as confirmation of James Clerk Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory and which paved the way for numerous advances in communication technology. Born in Hamburg on February 22, 1857, Hertz was the eldest of five children.
Jul 29, 2010 · From his theory he deduced the viscosity of gases, the mean path of their molecules between collisions, and many other properties. He even worked out the theory of the radiometer, a vertical "windmill" with vanes black on one side and white on the other, spun up in an evacuated glass bulb by a beam of light.
Heinrich Hertz came to Karlsruhe in 1885 and used his time here to build on the work of the Scottish physicist James Maxwell. “Maxwell was the ingenious professor who was able to formulate the laws of propagation of electromagnetic waves in the famous Maxwell equations,” explained Krebs.
Sep 25, 2020 · Heinrich Hertz was well aware that James Clerk Maxwell’s theory not only claimed as much, but that his system located electromagnetic effects in a field that was considered to be the state of an all-encompassing medium called the “ether”.
Hertz did produce an analysis of Maxwell's equations during his time at Kiel, showing they did have more validity than the then prevalent "action at a distance" theories.
