Explain the Hertz experiment to generate the electromagnetic wave.

The first proof of the existence of electromagnetic wave came from Hert'z experiment.
An apparatus similar to the one illustrated was used. A high voltage power source caused sparks to oscilitate across the gap as shown.
Each visible spark is actually a series of many small sparks, jumping rapidly back and forth (Oscilitating) between the terminals.
The size of the metal plates attached to the spheres from which the sparks are produced, controls the frequency of the sparks produced.
A loop of wire held near the oscillating spark, had a spark jump across the air gap.
Hertz reasoned that as the spark jumps back and forth across the gap of the induction coil, it must set up rapidly changing electric and magnetic fields.
Kindly, ask me if you have any doubts. If you are satisfied with my answer, don't forget to mark my answer as the brainliest.
