New York: Google doodle is celebrating a 155th birthday of Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, the German physicist who carried out pioneering work on electromagnetic waves.
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz was born on February 22nd, 1857 in Hamburg, Germany. The physicist is the one who clarified the electromagnetic theory of light which was developed earlier by Maxwell.
The German physicist is the first man in the world to prove that electromagnetic waves do exist using engineering tools that transmitted and received radio pulses.
Hertz is known for not realizing the full potential of the electromagnetic waves. He said that his discovery doesn’t have any implications right now or any practical use whatsoever.
In 1892, Hertz also demonstrated that the so-called cathode rays can penetrate through thin metal foils.
He obtained his PhD from University of Berlin and subsequently remained there to study under Hermann von Helmholtz, the German physician and physicist known for his theories on the conservation of energy.
Then, in 1883, Hertz took up a post as a lecturer in theoretical physics at University of Kiel.
It was in 1885 that he took up a full professorship at University of Karlsruhe, where he discovered electromagnetic waves.
