Radio waves were not detected first from a natural source, but were rather produced deliberately an artificially by the German scientist Heinrich Hertz in 1887, using electrical circuits calculated to produce oscillations in the radio frequency range, following recipies suggested by the equations of James Clerk Maxwell.

First observed by Heinrich Hertz in 1887, the phenomenon is also known as the Hertz effect, although the latter term has fallen out of general use.

Radio waves were not detected first from a natural source, but were rather produced deliberately an artificially by the German scientist Heinrich Hertz in 1887, using electrical circuits calculated to produce oscillations in the radio frequency range, following recipes suggested by the equations of James Clerk Maxwell.

These equations were verified by experiment by Heinrich Hertz in 1887, and the wave theory became widely accepted.

Heinrich Hertz experimentally confirmed this fact in 1887.

While James Clerk Maxwell was the first person to prove electromagnetic waves existed, in 1887 a German named Heinrich Hertz demonstrated these new waves by using spark gap equipment to transmit and receive radio or " Hertzian waves ", as they were first called.

The first example of an electrical resonance curve was published in 1887 by German physicist Heinrich Hertz in his pioneering paper on the discovery of radio waves, showing the length of spark obtainable from his spark-gap LC resonator detectors as a function of frequency.
