Who invented the radio?

Canadian inventor Fessenden.

On December 25, 1906, Fessenden made a broadcast from the National Electric Company's 128-meter-high radio tower in Brant Rock, Massachusetts. The most important part of the radio program is to read the story about the birth of Lord Jesus Christ from the Bible. In addition, it also has violin music, such as "Softening" by German musician Handel.

Before the broadcast, he gave a notice in the newspaper and sent a wireless telegram to notify the newspaper industry and ships in the Pacific. That night, the Pacific ship's radio operator heard a violin and the sound of a man reading from the Bible. It is generally believed that this is the world's first successful sound transmission experiment and is recognized as the symbol of the birth of radio sound broadcasting.

The invention of radio

In 1837, American Morse invented the telegraph machine, which could communicate with each other in remote places, but it still had to Rely on "wires" to connect. The reception and transmission of radio signals is "radio communication"; the entire history of the invention of radio communication is the result of the research and invention of many scientists.

In 1888, German scientist Heinrich Hertz discovered the existence of radio waves.

In 1895, Russian physicist Alexander Stepanovitch Popov claimed to have successfully sent and received radio signals between two places 600 yards apart.

In 1897, Popov used the wireless communication equipment he made to successfully communicate with a naval cruiser and a station on land.

In 1901 Marconi launched radio waves across the Atlantic.

In 1906, Canadian inventor Reginald Fessenden emitted the first "sound", and radio broadcasting began.
