Oliver Lodge

Oliver Lodge was a British physicist known for his contributions to the study of electromagnetic waves. In the late 19th century, he conducted experiments that helped demonstrate the existence and properties of these waves, which are a fundamental aspect of modern communications. Lodge developed methods to transmit and detect radio waves, paving the way for future advancements in wireless technology. He is also recognized for his work on the spark gap transmitter, an early device used to generate and send electromagnetic signals. Lodge's research was influential in the development of radio and the broader field of electromagnetism.
