Heinrich Hertz – Founder of Wireless Technology

Any form of communication that does not require cable connections or any materials that connects between the transmitters and receiver is considered as a “Wireless Transmissions”. 

On this generation, we often communicate via this method and such devices are mobile phones, radio, televisions and etc…

All of these valuable gadgets that allow us to communicate even at far distances started from the work of a German Physicist. 

He was Heinrich Hertz and he was the first to demonstrate how electromagnetic radiation travels through space.

In the year 1887, a lot of test and experimentation has been done by Heinrich Hertz. Through his effort and hard work, his demonstration was a success that thoroughly made a huge technological advancement on our communication technology. 

Although, the distance of transmission that Heinrich Hertz demonstrated was just only a few feet away. Anyway, the most important part is that he was able to prove that it is possible for radio waves to travel from one place to another eliminating the need for cable wires.

Apart from his successful experiment with radio waves, he has proven that the radio waves also travel exactly with the same velocity with the light waves. 

Actually, these radio and light waves’ falls under the category of the “Electromagnetic Waves”. The term Electromagnetic was simply a combination of the two words which are electricity and magnetism.

More examples of electromagnetic waves are heat radiations, cosmic rays, x-rays and any equipment that has the capability to transmit signal through space without relying to cable wires.
