are used by SETI to find messages that might have been sent by intelligent extraterrestrial life.
They cannot use sound because it doesn't travel through the vacuum of space.

Only waves with certain frequencies (mainly microwaves) can get through the 'window in the atmosphere'. This window is from about 300 to 3,000,000 MHz, wavelengths from 1 m to 0.1 mm.

LOW FREQUENCIES - long waves.
Diagrams of the Electromagnetic Spectrum usually use a logarithmic scale. The frequency bands increase in multiples rather than in a linear way.
