Who among the following discovered wireless communication and was named 'father of Radio Science'?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Jagdish Chandra Bose
Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858-1937) showed in 1895, in Kolkata, that radio (micro) waves could be sent through the air without wires, ringing a bell and firing a small charge at a distance. He invented devices such as the mercury coherer for detecting these waves, and the IEEE has honoured him as one of the fathers of radio science. He is also known for his work on plant physiology and for the crescograph, which measures the growth of plants.
