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.

Who discoverd radio waves?

Guglielmo Marconi (Marchese Guglielmo Marconi), an Italian inventor, proved the feasibility of radio communication. He sent and received his first radio signal in Italy in 1895. By 1899, he flashed the first wireless signal across the English Channel, and two years later received the letter "S", telegraphed from England to Newfoundland. This was the first successful trans-Atlantic radiotelegraph. Wikipedia has a good article on this Nobel Prize winner, and a link is provided.
