What is the frequency range of the FM radio band?

**Microwaves** λ≈10⁻³ to 0.3 m, f≈10⁹ to 10¹² Hz, produced by klystron/magnetron, used in microwave ovens because frequency ≈2.45 GHz matches rotational resonance of water molecules, causing dielectric heating, also radar, satellite communication due to small wavelength allows directional beams. The document states that the FM radio band extends from 88 MHz to 108 MHz . Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields 88 MHz to 108 MHz, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
