Exactly, John! Maxwell's equations paved the way for our understanding of these waves. Now, let's not forget Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist who experimentally confirmed the existence of these waves. He generated and detected electromagnetic waves, demonstrating the practical applications of Maxwell's theories.
Electromagnetic waves? Like radio waves and light?
Oersted was a Danish physicist who made a significant contribution by discovering the connection between electricity and magnetism. In 1820, he demonstrated that an electric current could deflect a magnetic needle, showing the fundamental link between the two phenomena.
That's amazing! But what about Hans Christian Oersted?
Indeed, Emma! The collaborative efforts of these scientists over the years led to the remarkable electromagnetic wave theory, which has transformed our world with applications in communication, technology, and so much more.
It's fascinating to see how these brilliant minds built upon each other's work, shaping our understanding of electromagnetism and the development of electromagnetic wave theory.
