What is the theory of Heinrich Hertz?
He showed that the nature of their vibration and their susceptibility to reflection and refraction were the same as those of light and heat waves. As a result, he established beyond any doubt that light and heat are electromagnetic radiations. The electromagnetic waves were called Hertzian and, later, radio waves.
What did Heinrich Hertz discover about light?
In addition to his radio wave breakthrough, Hertz is notable for the discovery of the photoelectric effect , which occurred while he was investigating electromagnetic waves. Because of some difficulty in detecting the small spark produced in his receiving apparatus, Hertz sometimes placed the receiver in a dark case.
What did Heinrich Hertz prove in 1888?
In 1888 German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894) produced and detected electromagnetic waves in his laboratory.
Who first discovered electromagnetic waves?
