Heinrich Hertz was a German physicist born on February 22, 1857, and is best known for his groundbreaking work in electromagnetism. He was the first to conclusively prove the existence of electromagnetic waves, demonstrating that they could be transmitted and received, which laid the foundation for modern wireless communication. Hertz's experiments in the late 1880s confirmed James Clerk Maxwell's theories about electromagnetic radiation. His legacy is honored in the unit of frequency, the hertz (Hz), named after him.
