In a two dimensional perspective you will see two overlapping waves with a positive and negative parabola opposite from one another. In reality we would see a spiral. Imagine that these lines are instead two of the smallest forms of energy known as a photon and they are spiraling each other. When you reach distances of four hundred nanometres to seven hundred nanometres in between the photons

by their frequency (in hertz‚ after Heinich Hertz ‚ who first produced radio waves electronically)‚ which is number of times they pass through a complete cycle per second; or by their wavelength‚ which is determined by the distance (by meters) that is traveled from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next. Radio frequencies are measured in units called kilohertz‚ megahertz‚ and gigahertz. (1 kilohertz = 1000 hertz : 1 megahertz = 106 hertz‚ 1 gigahertz = 109 hertz). All radio waves fall

wireless communications began in 1886. Heinrich Hertz (1854-1894) a professor of physics set up two circuits; the first circuit‚ containing a small space between the ends‚ was connected to a high source of voltage. With the voltage remaining high‚ a spark jumps back and forth across the gap. The second circuit that Heinrich experimented with was a conductor. The conductor was formed into a circle with small gaps between it ends. During this experiment Hertz noticed that when a spark was produced at the
