Does 60Hz fall into the range of RF waves used by commercial broadcasting?

No. That would be technologically difficult, and very unwise.
-- In order to transmit efficiently, the length of a transmitting antenna must be an appreciable
fraction of a wavelength. The easiest to handle are 1/2-wavelength horizontal wire antennas,
and 1/4-wave or 5/8-wave vertical antennas, including towers. The wavelength at 60 Hz
is 5 million meters, or roughly 3,100 miles.
-- With every utility power line, extension cord, toaster, and baseboard heater in North America
radiating a small signal at 60 Hz, the interference environment for anyone trying to receive
a clear newscast on a pocket portable at 60 Hz would be quite unfavorable.
The lowest frequency used for commercial broadcasting in the Americas is the low end
of the AM dial ... 550,000 Hz, with a wavelength of 545 meters (0.34 mile).

How can you convert a 220v 50hz generator to a 220v 60hz?
you can't
Do Indian electrical devices work in US?
No India uses 240V at 50Hz the U.S. uses 110V at 60Hz.
What happens to a 220v 50hz stereo amplifier when connected to a 220v 60hz supply?
Nothing happens. The stereo has a transformer that converts the power to DC, and 50 or 60 Hz input makes no difference.
Is the power supply for a Digitech whammy II 9v or 12v I need the specs for the power supply?
whammy 2 specs. ps750 class 2 transformer Ac-Ac power supply input: 120vac 60Hz 12w output 9v AC 780mA
How do you tune a hammond h112 organ?
The Hammond H112 is a tonewheel organ and the frequency of each note is governed entirely by the speed of the motor which drives the tonewheel generator. By default these motors are designed to operate from 60Hz AC power (US standard) therefore if you run it from UK 50Hz (even with a voltage converter) the whole thing will run slow and therefore every note will be a lower frequency. You can get converters to change the 50Hz UK standard to 60Hz US which should solve any problems. If the motor is still not running at the proper speed I'm guessing that the whole thing is clogged up or, very likely, hasn't been properly oiled for some time. There is no way to actually `tune' a tonewheel Hammond.
What frequency range does the US use for FM broadcasting?
60hz frequency is being used in us
Waves giving off by electric power lines are too what to be seen?
They are way below the frequencies we see as light. Their frequency (60hz) is just inside the bottom of the audio range.
Is the Orion 46 inch tv model sled4668w 60hz or 120 hz?
The Orion 46 Inch TV Model SLED4668W is a 60HZ television. The price range for this television is between $400.00 to $500.00.
Why higher frequency greater than 60Hz cannot be used?
Frequencies higher than 60Hz are frequently used. Although there are radio waves lower than 60Hz, all of our radio transmissions are well above that. If you mean why frequencies for mains power supply above 60Hz can't be used, the answer is, they can. The higher the frequency though, the higher the loss although this doesn't really come into play until frequencies above several hundred Hz are used. 50Hz or 60Hz were chosen originally because of the mechanical nature or early generators.
Which electromagnetic wave have the longest wavelengths?
The longest used is I think long wave radio which can be up to 1500 meters
What is the standard voltage in Taipei?
The commercial voltage in Taiwan is 110V. The frequency of this voltage that is supplied to homes and other places is 60Hz.
What is the voltage for 60hz?
Let me want to know 60Hz with how much voltage is available
Will a 208v 60Hz UPS work on 220v 50Hz?
The voltage and frequency range depends on the individual appliance, but each appliance should have a small plaque on it near where the power cord enters, telling you the working range.
Do you need 60hz or 120hz for xbox 360 Kinect?
60hz works fine with kinect
What is the US calculation of 110V 60hz?
Do you mean definition? If so 110V = 110 volts-60hz = 60 hertz. Hertz is the cycles that the electricity runs at. 60hz. is the US standard. Europe is at 50hz.
Is 60hz better for the eyes than 75hz?
75HZ is better than 60HZ for eye and for pc when v-sync is on
What is the standard voltage in Alberta Canada?
Household is 120/240 volts at 60Hz. The average wall socket is 120v 60Hz.
