Electromagnetic waves in the VLF – band have a frequency spectrum of…

  • A
    300-3000 kHz.
  • B
    3-30 kHz.
  • C
    30-300 kHz.
  • D
    30-300 MHz.

As seen in the table below, the Very Low Frequency (VLF) band reaches from 3 kHz to 30 kHz.

Frequency name Frequency Application
Very Low Frequency (VLF) 3 - 30 kHz Nil
Low Frequency (LF) 30 - 300 kHz NDB/ADF
Medium Frequency (MF) 300 - 3000 kHz NDB/ADF, long range communications
High Frequency (HF) 3 - 30 MHz Long range communications
Very High Frequency (VHF) 30 - 300 MHz Short range communication, VDF, VOR, ILS Localizer, marker beacons
Ultra High Frequency (UHF) 300 - 3000 MHz ILS Glide Path, DME, SSR, Satelite communications, GNSS, Long range radars
Super High Frequency (SHF) 3 - 30 GHz RADALT, AWR, MLS, Short range radars
Extremely High Frequency (EHF) 30 - 300 GHz Nil
