First to prove existence of electromagnetic waves
Quotes by Heinrich Hertz
The theory of Maxwell is not merely a mathematical hypothesis, but a physical reality.
The ether is the seat of electromagnetic phenomena.
The properties of the ether are still largely unknown.
The propagation of electric waves through space is analogous to the propagation of light waves.
The experiments confirm the wave nature of light.
The velocity of electric waves is independent of the nature of the conductor.
The electric and magnetic forces are always perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.
The energy of the electric waves is proportional to the square of the amplitude.
The experiments show that the electric and magnetic fields are not static, but dynamic.
The existence of electromagnetic waves opens up a new field of research.
The study of electric waves will lead to a deeper understanding of the nature of light.
The experiments provide a direct proof of Maxwell's theory.
The propagation of electric waves is a fundamental phenomenon of nature.
The ether is not a rigid body, but a medium capable of transmitting transverse vibrations.
The velocity of light is a universal constant.
The experiments demonstrate the unity of electric, magnetic, and optical phenomena.
The electromagnetic theory of light is now firmly established.
The existence of electromagnetic waves has profound implications for our understanding of the universe.
The experiments have opened up a new chapter in the history of physics.
The phenomena of electric resonance are of great importance for the understanding of electric oscillations.
