In what year did Guglielmo Marconi achieve the first wireless transatlantic signal?

• A. 1901
• B. 1899
• C. 1910
• D. 1925

Answer: (A)

This question tests your knowledge of a landmark moment in wireless communication: the first successful transatlantic transmission. In 1901, Marconi demonstrated that radio waves could travel across the Atlantic Ocean. He sent a signal from a station in Cornwall, England, and it was received in Newfoundland, Canada, on December 12, 1901. This achievement showed that long-range wireless communication was possible and opened the way for global radio networks and maritime signaling. The other years don’t match this historic crossing—1899 would be too early, while 1910 and 1925 come after the breakthrough.
