Radio spectrum the earth (ground waves), shorter waves can reflect off the ionosphere and return to earth beyond the horizon (skywaves), while much shorter wavelengths bend or diffract very little and travel on a line of sight, so their propagation distances are limited to the visual horizon. To prevent interference between different users, the artificial generation and use of radio waves is strictly regulated by law, coordinated by an international body called the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), which defines radio waves as "electromagnetic waves of frequencies arbitrarily lower than 3 000 GHz, propagated in space without artificial guide".[1] The radio spectrum is
Rough Waves Shukei (), whose still-extant paintings include a number of dynamic and mysterious images of sea waves, among them "Egret, Moon, and Wave" and "The Wind and the Waves". "Rough Waves" also reflects the influence of Tawaraya Sōtatsu, who specialized in gloomy landscapes, but is nevertheless an independent interpretation by Ogata of the frightening and violent force of the sea. "Rough Waves" impressed Ogata’s follower Sakai Hōitsu, who in 1805 created his work "Waves", in which he tried to convey a similar frightening atmosphere and a premonition of danger. At some time in the past, Hōitsu's family had commissioned work from
