Abstract
Thirty six naive male rats were used as Ss in two experiments to determine a possible relationship between frequency of low intensity ultra-high-frequency radio fields and activity level. In Experiment 1, a low frequency range (320 MHz – 450 MHz) was used, while a higher frequency range (770 MHz – 900 MHz) was used in Experiment 2. Identical low power levels were maintained for both experiments (.43 mW - .15 mW). Although the application of both high and low frequency ranges resulted in decreased activity, the lower frequencies were more effective in producing the activity change.
