Re: [Phys-l] induced electric field

Not lately.
In reviewing the easily available data earlier, I noticed this gee-whiz 
"recreating famous experiments" URL:

Julian offers this comment:
"Hertz first experiment – creating, sending and detecting radio waves – 
is relatively simple, not beyond the abilities of middle school 
students." ...or so he says.

I notice that one of Hertz's transmitters was an end loaded dipole with 
one meter legs and one of Hertz's receivers was a single turn loop of 
diameter 7.5 cm.

Though Hertz needed his transmitter and receiver to resonate at the same 
frequency for effective use, I am guessing that these particular items 
were not intended for the same experiment, perhaps this was an issue for 
you too?
