Low frequency (LF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies (RF) in the range of 30–300 kHz . Since its wavelengths range from 10–1 km, respectively, it is also known as the kilometre band or kilometre wave. LF radio waves exhibit low signal attenuation, making them suitable for long-distance communications.
Read moreWhat uses low frequency waves?
The Low Frequency (LF) band is mostly used for AM broadcasting in Europe as well as in areas of Northern Africa and Asia . Similar to VLF, LF can also be used for navigational radio beacons. It can also be used for maritime ship-to-shore communication, as well as transoceanic air traffic control.
Read moreWhat are low frequency radio waves used for?
Low to Medium Frequencies ELF radio waves, the lowest of all radio frequencies, have a long range and are useful in penetrating water and rock for communication with submarines and inside mines and caves . The most powerful natural source of ELF/VLF waves is lightning, according to the Stanford VLF Group.

Read moreWhat is extremely low frequency radiation?
Extremely low frequency (ELF) fields includes alternating current (AC) fields and other electromagnetic, non-ionizing radiation from 1 Hz to 300 Hz . ELF fields at 60 Hz are produced by power lines, electrical wiring, and electrical equipment.
Read moreWhat is low frequency and high frequency?
Low-frequency sounds are 500 Hz or lower while high-frequency waves are above 2000 Hz . Human ears can register sounds from about 20 Hz in frequency up to 20,000 Hz, depending of course, upon the hearer. People with hearing loss usually have trouble hearing sounds in the higher frequency range.6 Eki 2017
