Canute

∙ 10y ago
King Canute of England proved his fallibility and inability to command the waves. According to a popular legend, he commanded the tide to stop, but when the waves continued to roll in, he realized that even a king has limits and cannot control the forces of nature. This story is often used as a reminder of the limits of human power and the importance of humility.

Who was the father of electromagnetic waves?
according to physics history, it was James Clerk Maxwell and his equations proved the existence of electromagnetic waves.
What man proved the existence of electromagnetic waves and has a unit of frequency named after him?
ghjdfgdrf
Who predicted the exist of electromagnetic wave and who proved it?
James Clerk Maxwell first theoretically predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves, however David Edward Hughes is partially credited as he made the first successful radio transmission. Heinrich Hertz is the man who actually proved Maxwell's theory of the existence of electromagnetic waves.
How was the microwave discovered?
The existence of radio waves (of which microwaves are a part) was predicted by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 from his equations. They were then proved to exist experimentally.
Does light have the properties of particles or waves?
Both. E = mc2(squared) wave is an energy formwhile m is mass (particle)einstein proved that light acts as wave and particle at the same time.

What can electromagnetic waves transfer waves without?
Electromagnetic waves can carry energy from place to place without a medium. Further, any frequency of radiation from a mass transfers energy in the form of waves. As to whether it is with or without a medium is yet unknown and yet to be experimentally proved or disproved.
Who discovered microwave and when?
The existence of radio waves was predicted by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 from his equations. They were then proved to exist experimentally.m

How can the command centre communicate with the space ship in space if outer space is a vacuum?
They use radio waves which are a type of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum Ligth is a type of electromagnetic wave and that travels through space from the sun and the stars.
Would you be deaf on the moon?
In the absence of a medium to transmit sound waves, there would be no sound to hear. This is not the same as clinical deafness, which would be the physical inability to hear or process sounds.
Unless a hypothesis can be found to be false it is not a scientific inquiry?
I have an hypothesis that light waves are made up of particles. This is a valid scientific inquiry yet it cannot be proved false, because under certain circumstances, light waves behave like particles.
What were the contributions of Heinrich hertz to the particle theory of light?
Hertz proved the existence of electromagnetic waves with James Maxwell's electromagnetic theory of light. He proved the theory by creating instruments to transmit and receive radio pulses using procedures that ruled out all wireless phenomena.
Who discover microwave?
The existence of radio waves was predicted by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 from his equations. They were then proved to exist experimentally.
Did king canute hold back the sea?
No: His advisors said he was so mighty that he could command the waves, on putting the theory to the test their sycophancy was shown for what it was !
