Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (/ h ɜːr t s / HURTS; German: [ˈhaɪnʁɪç hɛʁts]; [1] [2] 22 February 1857 – 1 January 1894) was a German physicist, who first conclusively proved the existence of the electromagnetic waves predicted by James Clerk Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, laying the foundation for the radio and modern telecommunications.
It chronicles the development of electromagnetic theory in the years after the publication of A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism by James Clerk Maxwell. The book draws heavily on the correspondence and notebooks as well as the published writings of George Francis FitzGerald, Oliver Lodge, Oliver Heaviside, Heinrich Hertz, and Joseph Larmor.
Heinrich Hertz. In 1887, the German physicist Heinrich Hertz in a series of experiments proved the actual existence of electromagnetic waves, showing that transverse free space electromagnetic waves can travel over some distance as predicted by Maxwell and Faraday

Experimental confirmation of Maxwell's theory was provided by Hertz, who generated and detected electric waves in 1886 and verified their properties, at the same time foreshadowing their application in radio, television, and other devices. [47] In 1887, Heinrich Hertz discovered the photoelectric effect. [48]
In 1995, he received IEEE Heinrich Hertz Medal for "major contributions in fundamental electromagnetic theory and its application to electrical engineering." [ 1 ] In addition to his research work, he is known for his textbook, Electromagnetic Fields (1964).
The IEEE Heinrich Hertz Medal was a science award presented by the IEEE for outstanding achievements in the field of electromagnetic waves.The medal was named in honour of German physicist Heinrich Hertz, and was first proposed in 1986 by IEEE Region 8 as a centennial recognition of Hertz's work on electromagnetic radiation theory from 1886 to 1891.
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz's work in the domain of electromagnetic radiation was pivotal to the development of modern telecommunication. [9] Karl Ferdinand Braun invented the phased array antenna in 1905, [ 10 ] which led to the development of radar , smart antennas and MIMO , and he shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Guglielmo Marconi "for ...
