Heinrich Rudolf Hertz bewies als erster experimentell die Existenz von Elektromagnetischen Wellen, wie so vorher von James Clerk Maxwell theoretisch beschrieben wurden. Dazu baute er Instrumente um Radiowellen zu senden und zu empfangen und dabei andere Übertragungsphänomene auszuschließen. Die wissenschaftliche Einheit der Frequenz - Schwingungen pro Sekunde - ist zu seinen Ehren nach ihm benannt.
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz liegt auf dem Ohlsdorfer Friedhof auf der Grabstätte der Familie Hertz.
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz was a German physicist who first conclusively proved the existence of electromagnetic waves theorized by James Clerk Maxwell. He proved the theory by engineering instruments to transmit and receive radio pulses using experimental procedures that ruled out all other known wireless phenomena. The scientific unit of frequency – cycles per second – was named the "hertz" in his honor
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz lies on the cemetary of Ohlsdorf on a family grave.
