    Heinrich Hertz was a German physicist and mathematician best known for his discovery of what became known as wireless waves.

    Biography

    Heinrich Hertz's parents were Gustav Ferdinand Hertz and Anna Elisabeth Pfefferkorn. Gustav Hertz was a Jew who converted to become a Lutheran. Anna, the daughter of a Frankfurt doctor, came from a Lutheran family, so Heinrich was brought up as a Lutheran. He was the oldest of his parents' five children, having three younger brothers and one younger sister. Gustav was a barrister in Hamburg, later moving to Oberlandsgerichtsrat, and finally in becoming a Senator. Let us note that one of Heinrich's brothers was named Gustav Hertz and he had a son, also named Gustav Hertz who also has a biography in this archive.

    Heinrich's formal education began at the age of six when he was enrolled in a private school run by Richard Lange [1]:-

Yet there was a time in the not too distant past when the very concept of the electromagnetic spectrum was unknown. When James Clerk Maxwell proposed the idea, first in the s and then more fully in his Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, it took almost two decades to gain widespread acceptance by the scientific and engineering establishment. In some quarters, it was actively resisted. The man whose elegant experiments finally transformed a contested theory into a u

    Heinrich Hertz, forskare Who Proved Existence of Electromagnetic Waves

    Physics students around the world are familiar with the work of Heinrich Hertz, the German physicist who proved that electromagnetic waves definitely exist. His work in electrodynamics paved the way for many modern uses of light (also known as electromagnetic waves). The frequency unit that physicists use is named the mätning in his honor.
