Hertz used a simple homemade experimental apparatus, involving an induction coil and a Leyden jar (the original capacitor) to create electromagnetic waves and a spark gap between two brass spheres to detect them. The gaps were difficult to see, and required that the he perform his investigations in a darkened room.
Q. Why is James Clerk Maxwell famous?
James Clerk Maxwell is most famous for his theory of electromagnetism, which showed that light was electromagnetic radiation. His theory is considered to have paved the way for both quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of special relativity.

Q. What was James Clerk Maxwell childhood like?
James Clerk Maxwell was born into a wealthy family in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK on June 13, 1831. His father was a lawyer, and his mother died when he was only eight years old. He attended high school in Edinburgh – Edinburgh Academy – where he published his first academic paper, Oval Curves at the age of just 14.
Q. Are Maxwell and Hertz related?
About 150 years ago, James Clerk Maxwell, an English scientist, developed a scientific theory to explain electromagnetic waves. He noticed that electrical fields and magnetic fields can couple together to form electromagnetic waves. Hertz proved the existence of radio waves in the late 1880s. …
Q. What is the invention of Heinrich Hertz?
Radar
Q. How did Hertz produce sparks?
Hertz applied high voltage a.c. electricity across the central spark-gap of the transmitter, creating sparks. The sparks caused violent pulses of electric current within the copper wires leading out to the zinc spheres. Hertz had produced and detected radio waves.
Q. Who discovered the EM spectrum?
Heinrich Hertz
Q. Is it safe to live near a cell tower?
If you live within a quarter mile of a cell phone antenna or tower, you may be at risk of serious harm to your health, according to a German study cited at www.EMF-Health.com, a site devoted to exposing hazards associated with electromagnetic frequencies from cell phone towers and other sources.
Q. How can I protect my home from 5G?
To protect against 5G and other EMFs in your home, the EMF Home Adaptor is recommended. The Home Adaptor will correct the 5G or 4G signal going to devices like a tablet in your home. It will not fully protect against fields originating out of your home (such as the neighboring routers and cell towers).
