Abstract :
The earth and the ionosphere together form a spherical-type resonant cavity. The natural frequency of this resonator was calculated by Schumann to be approximately 10 cps. In order to test this result, it was decided to determine experimentally whether or not there might actually exist in the atmosphere signals which would lie within this frequency range, and to investigate the effects of such signals on living organisms.
