The origin of the radio dates back to almost 30 years before Marconi. It is credited to a Cambridge professor called James Clerk Maxwell. Without any experience with radio waves, Maxwell forecast and documented most of the laws that govern their propagation. He was able to calculate their speed and also compared them to light waves. <\/p>\n

Maxwell successfully indicated via diagrams how radio waves could be reflected and absorbed and focused. He even elaborated on how the waves could change the nature of the object on which they were focused.<\/p>\n

Nobody believed Maxwell in 1864. In 1887, the German scientist Heinrich Hertz proved with successful experiments that Maxwell had been right all along. In 1894, Oliver Lodge, a British scientist successfully transmitted wireless signals over 150 yards! <\/p>\n

The term ‘radio’ was first used in the USA and was derived from ‘radiation’, which was recognized as the principle that governs radio waves. It is a characteristic of all electromagnetic waves. The radio has since become an important part of our lives and a source of communication. The design of the radio has also changed with time and it is now a very sophisticated device that is receptive to information via its base principle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
