Abstract
A brief overview of the main achievements of Heinrich Hertz, an outstanding German physicist, has been shown to prove to the whole world the existence of electromagnetic waves. Biographical information and details of Hertz's education, his work in Hermann Helmholtz's laboratory, as well as interesting facts from his life and work are given. These include the unique experimental work performed by Hertz, a professor at the Higher Technical School in Karlsruhe, using the emitter of electromagnetic waves - the Vibrator - and their own design receiver. Along with James Maxwell and Oliver Heaviside, Hertz can be considered the founder of electrodynamics: he received electromagnetic waves predicted by Maxwell's theory, showed their identity with light waves and gave a classical calculation of the electromagnetic radiation of the simplest vibrator. Hertz's discoveries formed the basis for the theory of radiation of radio waves and methods for calculating antennas, and became the basis for the birth of the era of wireless communications, radio and television.
