Hertz, German physicist, was born on February 22, 1857 in Hamburg, died at January 1, 1894, Bonn.Inclinations proved early in the trades: carpentry taught and worked on the lathe.
At age 18 he finished high school and had the impression that is intended profession inginer.Sa went to study engineering in Munich, but after two years since studies found that it attracts more scientific work in physics.

Then he moved to the University of Berlin, where he began to study mathematics and physics. Particularly diligent student was noticed by renowned physics professor Herman von Helmholtz, who took him as a practitioner in his laboratory.
Hertz first discovered in Karlsruhe with the existence of electromagnetic wave oscillator. He proved that they are identical waves moving at the speed of light. His results do was the basis for development of wireless telegraphy and radio.
In 1888, Heinrich Rudolph Hertz (the frequency from which the unit name) shows that perturbations generated by a spark coil, the characteristics of radio waves as they are described by Maxwell. His work is continued by Guglielmo Marconi in experimental wireless telegraphy, which use Morse code. By 1896, Marconi transmitted messages over a distance since several miles.
Unit frequency, Hertz is named after him.
