Guys! Why don't we play a game where I say a scientist's name and the first one to raise their hand and tell us their contribution in the EM Wave theory gets a point?
That sounds fun! Let's do it! It'll also help us to recall our lesson about them for our upcoming test.
Hmm.. Alright first one, Andre Marie Ampere!
Me! He was the first to demonstrate that a magnetic field is generated when two parallel wires are charged with electricity. He is generally credited as one of the first to discover electromagnetism.
That's right! 1 point for Amy! Next one is... Michael Faraday!
Ahh.. How are you guys so good at this..?
I know! He formulated the principle behind electromagnetic induction. Faraday established the basis for the concept of the electromagnetic field in physics.
Hahaha! Don't worry, Lia, you'll be able to answer soon. But that's a point for Sofia!Philo Farnsworth, go!
Me! He experimented with phosphors for the picture tube and oscillators to generate electromagnetic waves for transmission, and then he conceived the world's first all-electronic television.
A point for Rin! Now for Reginald Fessenden!
Finally, someone I know! He's best known for his pioneering work developing radio technology, and the first man in history to send wireless broadcasts of voice and music over radio waves.
That's right! A point for Lia and everyone has a point now, only 7 names left!Alright, Joseph Henry!
I think that goes to Amy, take it away!
Well, during his his experiments with electromagnetism, Henry discovered the electromagnetic phenomenon of self-inductance.
