Low frequency radiation struggles to travel long distances primarily due to interactions with materials that absorb its energy, causing it to lose power more quickly. In a vacuum, frequency does not impact travel distance, but in mediums, the behavior of electromagnetic radiation varies with wavelength and energy per photon. Higher frequency waves, like ultraviolet light, can penetrate materials less effectively than lower frequencies, depending on the medium. Additionally, low frequency microwaves can effectively travel through oceans, making them suitable for submarine communication. Overall, the ability of radiation to travel long distances is influenced by its frequency, power, and the medium it traverses.
