I am developing curriculum materials on the electromagnetic spectrum and want to make 1 Hz my starting point. Kids would really grove on a wave that reached almost to the moon, and better understand the relationship between frequency and the speed of light. Am I correct in supposing that a 1 Hz alternating current would generate such a wave? How might such a wave be detected or measured? A radio dish or large array would be much to small, no? Thanks for your help.
Re: What sources might generate a 1 Hz radio wave, that's 3 x 10e8 meters long?
