Hertzian  adj.  Of or pert. to the German physicist Heinrich Hertz.
Hertzian telegraphy, telegraphy by means of the Hertzian waves; wireless telegraphy.
Hertzian waves, electric waves; so called because Hertz was the first to investigate them systematically.

The waves were found to have the same velocity as light, and to undergo reflection, refraction, and polarization.
