Publications Timeline

A list of major publications of Heinrich Hertz
Dissertation: Über die Induction in rotierenden Kugeln (On the Induction in Rotating Spheres)
1880
Hertz's doctoral dissertation. This document explores the theoretical principles governing the induction of electrical currents in rotating spheres, laying the groundwork for his later investigations into electromagnetism.
Ueber Strahlen electrischer Kraft (On Electric Radiation)
1888
This paper presents experimental evidence for the existence of electromagnetic radiation. It marks a pivotal moment in the history of physics, providing the first conclusive proof of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory.
Ueber die Ausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit der electrodynamischen Wirkungen (On the Propagation Velocity of Electrodynamic Effects)
1890
Hertz delves into the propagation velocity of electrodynamic effects, confirming that electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. This finding validates Maxwell's equations.
Ueber die mechanischen Grundlagen der Elektrodynamik (On the Fundamental Equations of Mechanics for Hertz's Electrodynamics)
1891
This publication presents Hertz's refined mechanical interpretation of electrodynamics, offering a novel perspective on the subject.
Die Prinzipien der Mechanik in neuem Zusammenhange dargestellt (The Principles of Mechanics Presented in a New Form)
1892
This book represents Hertz's attempt to establish a purely mechanical foundation for all physical phenomena. It offers an alternative to traditional approaches, emphasizing the role of mechanics in explaining the fundamental principles of physics.
