  2. Oct 12, 2012 · Hertz used a simple homemade experimental apparatus, involving an induction coil and a Leyden jar (the original capacitor) to create electromagnetic waves and a spark gap between two brass spheres to detect them.

  3. Jan 1, 2019 · 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.

  5. Even more astoundingly, he discovered the existence of radio waves and the fact that they behave like light. By the end of the decade, Hertz’s validation of Maxwell’s electromagnetic field theory forced a conceptual revolution within the European community of theoretical physicists.

  6. Jan 14, 2015 · Heinrich Hertz's 19th-century experiments proved electricity and light were connected – and recreating them shows what a tour de force they were.

  7. Hertz generated, detected and characterized propagating traverse electromagnetic waves in space, determining their velocity and showing their capacity for rectilinear propagation, reflection, refraction and polarization.

  8. Dec 6, 2015 · 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.
