Heinrich Rudolf Hertz gets a Google Doodle for his 155th birthday
Google celebrated German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz’s 155th birthday Wednesday by turning its logo into a frequency wave.

You may recognize Hertz’s name from the unit of measurement — the hertz — which measures cycles per second.

In his brief life (he died at the age of 36), he made important contributions to the study of electromagnetism, confirming the existence of electromagnetic waves through experiment in 1886 while he was a professor at the University of Karlsruhe.
