subradio

(electromagnetic radiation, frequency below 3 kHz)

The term subradio is sometimes used for electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with frequencies below that of radio. The "lower end of radio frequencies" is not universally agreed upon, and various frequency limits have been declared, such as 30 kHz, 3 kHz, and 3 Hz, and some declare radio to extend to 0 Hz. In communications, such frequencies are used for only very specialized applications. Bands at the lower end of radio or beyond:

band frequencies wavelengths
very low frequency (VLF) 3-30 kHz ~10-100 km
ultra low frequency (ULF) 300-3000 Hz ~100-1000 km
super low frequency (SLF) 30-300 Hz ~1000-10,000 km
extremely low frequency (ELF) 3-30 Hz ~10,000-100,000 km
sometimes called
tremendously low frequency (TLF)
0-3 Hz > ~100,000 km
