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 explains that in regions with no conduction current but a time-varying electric field, displacement current acts as a source of magnetic field, enabling electromagnetic wave propagation. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields It acts as a source of magnetic field, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
