What are ULF waves?

Ultra-Low Frequency (ULF) waves are waves with a period between roughly 1 and 1000 seconds that are usually measured with magnetometers on the Earth’s surface or on spacecraft . They are, however, not exclusively found in near-Earth space, but also around other planets and in interplanetary space.

What 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

What is very low frequency used for?

The VLF band is used for a few radio navigation services, government time radio stations (broadcasting time signals to set radio clocks) and for secure military communication . Since VLF waves can penetrate at least 40 meters (131 ft) into saltwater, they are used for military communication with submarines.
