Google celebrates Heinrich Rudolf Hertz's birthday

Heinrich Rudolf Hertz was born on 1857 February 22 in Hamburg. Google's search engine today reminds us of that day.

We also need to remember the famous physicist, as we describe and use the unit of frequency that bears His name several times a day.

The young Heinrich Hertz became an engineer, later turning only to the study of the natural sciences, primarily electrical phenomena. His discoveries to this day have been the detection of electrical waves generated during the discharge of electric sparks. He proved that electrical vibrations propagate and bounce back like a wave in space. He gave up and picked up radio waves for the first time. Among other things, his work laid the foundations of radio television.
