- When
- 1886-1889
- Where
- University of Karlsruhe
Hertz conducted a series of experiments between 1886 and 1889 to prove that observed effects were results of Maxwell's predicted electromagnetic waves.
Between 1886 and 1889, Hertz conducted experiments that proved the effects he observed were results of Maxwell's predicted electromagnetic waves. These experiments established that light and these waves were both forms of electromagnetic radiation obeying the Maxwell equations.
