Explanation

**Hertz experiment** produced radio waves using spark gap LC oscillator, detected with loop antenna, confirming Maxwell's prediction, frequency ≈10⁸ Hz, wavelength ≈3 m, demonstrating EM waves travel at c, transverse, can be reflected, refracted, polarized. The document states that radio waves have wavelengths greater than 0.1 m , with long radio waves up to 10⁶ m . Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields > 0.1 m, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
