Extremely low frequency (ELF) is the ITU designation for electromagnetic radiation (radio waves) with frequencies from 3 to 30 Hz , and corresponding wavelengths of 100,000 to 10,000 kilometers, respectively. In atmospheric science, an alternative definition is usually given, from 3 Hz to 3 kHz.
Read moreIs low or high frequency dangerous?
So the power delivered by a low frequency radiation comes in a great number of small packets, while the same amount of power carried by an higher frequency radiations is composed by few large packets. This is the reason why high frequency radiation is more harmful than lower frequency radiation .

Read moreWhat are high frequency waves called?
High frequency (HF) is the ITU-designated range of radio frequency electromagnetic waves (radio waves) between 3 and 30 MHz. It is also known as the decameter band or decameter wave as the wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten to one hundred metres).
Read moreWhat does wave frequency indicate?
Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time . The SI unit for wave frequency is the hertz (Hz), where 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second. A higher-frequency wave has more energy than a lower-frequency wave with the same amplitude.19 Eyl 2019
Read moreWhat does low frequency mean in sound?
The lower the frequency, the fewer the oscillations . High frequencies produce more oscillations. The units of frequency are called hertz (Hz). Humans with normal hearing can hear sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz.3 Tem 2018

Discomfort from, Sensitivity to, and Irritability from Noise . Discomfort, sensitivity to noise, and irritability are other effects on human health due to exposure to low-frequency noise.
