FIVE SCIENTISTS WHO CONTRIBUTED IN THE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

THEORY THAT TOOK PART IN THE HISTORY OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

1. James Clark Maxwell - James Clark Maxwell is one of the

electromagnetic theory scientists. He developed a theory that explains
electromagnetic waves. He found out that combined electrical fields
and magnetic fields can form electromagnetic waves. He discovered
that a changing magnetic field will induce a changing electric field
and vice-versa.

2. Heinrich Hertz - Heinrich Hertz proved the Theory of

Electromagnetism. One of Heinrich Hertz’ inventions showed that
light and heat are electromagnetic radiations. He proved that the
speed and length of electromagnetic waves can be identified and
measured. Moreover, Heinrich Hertz’ experiment proved that
electromagnetic waves can transport electricity, and these waves
contain light properties, especially that they travel at the speed of
light.

3. Guglielmo Marconi - Guglielmo Marconi continued the discovery

of more developed magnetic waves after James Clark Maxwell and
Heinrich Hertz’ time. Guglielmo Marconi transmitted recognizable
electronic signals more than a mile away.

4. Reginald Fessenden - Reginald Fessenden achieved the first audio

radio transmission and the first two-way transatlantic transmission.
5. Philo Farnsworth - Philo Farnsworth did the first all-electronic
television broadcast, and he was the first person to solve the
coordination of electronically-scanned television cameras and
receivers that produced clear moving images.
