Summary

In view of the geophysical applications in the study of aird regions, using electric waves, the penetration of these into desert rocks is investigated. It is found that in the range of frequency of 100 kc/s to 1 Mc/s, the penetration increases with (a) decrease of frequency, (b) increase of resistivity, (c) decrease of relative humidity. Some graphs are included showing these relations.
