Scientists in spent a lot of time looking for electromagnetic radiation at low frequencies - radio waves - after their theoretical prediction by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860s. They were detected near lightning strikes and attempts were made to reproduce the effect artificially using electric sparks. Hertz in Germany and Popov in Russia were two of the early scientific investigators.
Guglielmo Marconi developed the science into a means for communicating without wires - wireless telegraphy - and conducted experiments that spanned greater and greater distances until in 1901 a message was sent over the Atlantic from Poldhu in Cornwall to Newfoundland.

Was the radio named after radio waves or were radio waves named after the radio?
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
Where were radio waves discovered?
might be in Germany or russia or America
When was radio waves first discovered?
In 1820 Hans Christian Oersted noticed that electricity could cause magnets to move. This was the first "discovery" of radio waves.
How was the radio waves discovered?
Radio waves were first predicted by mathematical work done in 1865 by James Clerk Maxwell. Maxwell noticed wavelike properties of light and similarities in electrical and magnetic observations. He then proposed equations that described light waves and radio waves as waves of electromagnetism that travel in space. In 1887, Heinrich Hertz demonstrated the reality of Maxwell's electromagnetic waves by experimentally generating radio waves in his laboratory.
Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Was the radio named after radio waves or were radio waves named after the radio?
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
Where were radio waves discovered?
