Carl Hellmuth Hertz

Carl Hellmuth Hertz, often referred to simply as Hertz, was a German physicist who made significant contributions to the field of physics, most notably in relation to electromagnetic waves. He is best known for his experiments in the late 19th century that confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves predicted by James Clerk Maxwell's theoretical work. Hertz's experiments involved generating and detecting radio waves, laying the groundwork for the development of wireless communication.
