What does low frequency waves mean?

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.

What is a high frequency wave?

High frequency (HF) is an electromagnetic frequency defined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) for radar and radio communications . It operates in a range of three to thirty MHz and as the wavelengths spread over ten to one hundred meters, it is also known as decameter wave and designated as band 7.

What Hz is low frequency?

Sound at 20-200 Hz is called low-frequency sound, while for sound below 20 Hz the term infrasound is used. The hearing becomes gradually less sensitive for decreasing frequency, but despite the general understanding that infrasound is inaudible, humans can perceive infrasound, if the level is sufficiently high.
