Hertz invented the electromagnetic wave to test James Clerk Maxwell's theory that light is a form of electricity. Hertz created electric waves and showed that they operated like light.

When did Hertz invent the radio?

he didn't


Does a 400 hertz wave have a higher energy than a 800 hertz wave?

No. The higher the frequency of a wave, the higher the energy.


What characteristics of a wave is measured in hertz?

The characteristic of a wave that is measured in hertz is its frequency. Hertz (Hz) is a unit of measurement that represents the number of cycles or vibrations of a wave per second.


What did Rudolf Heinrich Hertz invent?

Rudolf Hertz did not invent anything. He was a physicist who discovered electromagnetic waves and the photoelectric effect. Hertz's work laid the foundation for the development of radio technology.


What unit do you get when you multiply hertz by meters?

You get a speed. If the 'Hertz' is the frequency of a particular wave, and the 'meters' is the wavelength of the same wave, then their product is the speed of that wave.


What electromagnatic wave has a very high penetrating power it is emitted during the decay of many radioactive isotopes?

This is the gamma radiation.


What characteristic of wave is measured in hertz?

Frequency is the characteristic of a wave that is measured in hertz. Frequency describes the number of complete cycles of a wave that occur in a specific time period, usually measured in cycles per second (hertz).


The unit of the period of a wave is the hertz True Or False?

False. The unit of the period of a wave is seconds, not hertz. Period is the time it takes for one complete cycle of the wave, while hertz represents the frequency of the wave, which is the number of cycles per second.


How can a sound wave be measured?

By hertz.


How do you measure the frequency of a wave in hertz?

The frequency of a wave in hertz (Hz) is measured by counting the number of complete cycles of the wave that pass a fixed point in one second. One hertz represents one cycle per second.


What the hertz is used to measure this characteristic of a wave?

Hertz is used to measure the frequency of a wave, which represents the number of complete wave cycles that occur in one second.
