ON THIS DAY | In 1857, Heinrich Rudolf Hertz was born in Hamburg, Germany. Hertz made key discoveries in optics but also transmitted and received electromagnetic waves. His name has become used for the common unit of frequency, Hz. #OnThisDay
Why are your pets more sensitive than you? They listen with a wider hearing range!🐶🐱🐭🐰 Hertz (Hz) is the frequency unit named after German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who first proved the existence of electromagnetic waves. Feb 22 marks his 164th birthday. #OnThisDay
Happy National Radio Day! We salute Heinrich Hertz, Guglielmo Marconi, and Nikola Tesla for bringing this magical form of communication and entertainment to the world. Make sure you listen to a favorite station today. Here is a famous photo of the great inventor Tesla at work:

#OTD 2/22/1857: The renowned German physicist Heinrich Hertz was born. He was the 1st to conclusively prove the existence of electromagnetic waves (among many other accomplishments) and the SI unit of frequency - the hertz (Hz) - is named in his honor:
#FunFact : It’s been over 100 years sinc #radio was discovered by Heinrich Hertz. In honor o #WorldRadioDay yesterday, read abou #nationalsecurity R&D projects that have put this phenomenon to use in just the last few years @NPPD
When asked about the practical use of the radio waves Heinrich Hertz had just discovered, he replied ‘Nothing, I guess’.
The German physicist who first conclusively proved the existence of the electromagnetic waves theorized by James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic theory of light, Heinrich Hertz, was born #onthisday in 1857. The unit of frequency was named in his honour.
