What Does VLF Stand For?
VLF stands for Very Low Frequency Radiowaves
VLF, or Very Low Frequency Radiowaves, refers to electromagnetic waves in the frequency range of 3 to 30 kHz. These waves are characterized by their long wavelengths, which can propagate over vast distances and penetrate various mediums, including water and soil. VLF radiowaves are commonly used in marine communication, navigation systems, and scientific research, particularly in studying the Earth's ionosphere and natural phenomena such as lightning. Their ability to cover large areas makes them essential for reliable communication in remote and challenging environments.
