How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T16574513 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Hertzian waves
Hertzian waves are early experimentally demonstrated electromagnetic waves that confirmed James Clerk Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism and paved the way for modern radio communication.
-
B.
Maxwell's equations
Maxwell's equations are the fundamental set of four equations in classical electromagnetism that describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated and interact with charges and currents.
-
C.
Larmor theorem in classical electrodynamics
The Larmor theorem in classical electrodynamics states that a charged particle in a weak, uniform magnetic field behaves as if it were in a rotating reference frame, leading to a characteristic precession of its orbital motion at the Larmor frequency.
-
D.
Proca equation
The Proca equation is a relativistic wave equation that describes massive spin-1 fields, such as massive vector bosons, in quantum field theory.
-
E.
Einstein–Infeld–Hoffmann equations
The Einstein–Infeld–Hoffmann equations are post-Newtonian equations of motion in general relativity that describe the dynamics of gravitating bodies with relativistic corrections beyond Newtonian gravity.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
