Regarding the typical electromagnetic radiation (EM) produced by a current flowing through a straight power line: What is the wavelength (or frequency if you prefer) of this radiation. Is there a function with the variables being: 1) the distance you are from the actual wire (since the intensity dissipates at a rate proportional to the distance squared) and 2) if necessary, the voltage and wattage of the current. I would assume that the EM is in the form of radio waves (and even possibly slightly higher frequency microwave radiation), but I would like to prove this. My goal is the proof, in the form of a function.
