Books:
1. Electromagnetic Waves: The Scientific Writings of Heinrich Hertz (1893): This two-volume book collection includes most of Hertz's published papers and lectures on electromagnetism.
2. Miscellaneous Papers (1896): A compilation of Hertz's previously unpublished writings, including his early works on mechanics and potential theory.
3. The Principles of Mechanics Presented in a New Form (1896): Hertz's attempt to establish a new foundation for classical mechanics based on the principle of least action.
Journals and Articles:
1. "On the Induction of Electric Currents in Rotating Spheres" (1880): Hertz's PhD dissertation, focusing on electromagnetic induction in spinning conductors.
2. "The Discharge of Electricity through Rarefied Air" (1887-1888): A series of articles detailing Hertz's experimental work on electric discharges in vacuum tubes, which demonstrated the existence of electromagnetic waves.
3. "On the Propagation of Electrical Force" (1888): Hertz's seminal paper announcing his discovery of electromagnetic waves, where he describes his famous experiments with spark-gap transmitters and resonators.
4. "On the Effect of Ultraviolet Light on the Electric Discharge" (1887-1889): Hertz's investigations on the photoelectric effect, laying the groundwork for Max Planck's later development of quantum theory.
5. "On the Fundamental Equations of Electromagnetics" (1892): Hertz's theoretical paper exploring the mathematical formulation of Maxwell's equations and their relation to mechanics.
These works collectively represent Heinrich Hertz's significant contributions to physics and his foundational role in the development of electromagnetism, radio communication, and the understanding of electromagnetic phenomena.
