Please log in for more thread options I remember reading somewhere than ELF [Extremely Low Frequency] radio transmission is inefficient because it requires to much power. If that is the case, wouldn't MW [Medium Wave] radio transmission require even more power? MW and ELF are forms of electromagnetic radiation in the RF spectrum. An photon [or electromagnetic wave] of a higher-frequency has more energy than a photon of a lower-frequency. Let's say there are there are two radio transmitters, one emits 2 GHz waves while the other emits 2 kHz waves. If the two radio transmitters use the same modulation scheme [AM/FM, etc.] and emit the same amount of photons-per-second-per-square-meter, the 2 GHz transmitter will be using more watts than the 2 kHz transmitter -- because a 2 GHz photon requires more power to generate than a 2 kHZ photon. Right? So how would transmitting a lower-frequency radio wave require more power than transmitting a higher-frequency radio wave? Thanks, Radium | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

What do you expect from radium trolling?
