Heinrich Rudolph Hertz is a German Physicist who studied about the electromagnetic theory of light and even explained more about the existence of electromagnetic wave. The SI unit hertz (Hz), a measurement of the number of times that a repeated event occurs per second (also called “cycles per sec” (cps)), was named in his honor by the IEC for frequency in 1930.

Hertz died at the age of 36 after suffering from Wegener’s Ganulomatosis in Germany.
