There is a system of formal designation of the region of the electromagnetic
spectrum that we know how to generate and modulate for communication.
The naming system differentiates among arbitrary sections of "radio" based
on slices of decades (10 times) of frequency and wavelength. You'll recognize
some of the abbreviations, like VHF and UHF:
Very Low Frequency (VLF)
3 - 30 KHz
100,000 - 10,000 meters
Low Frequency (LF)
30 - 300 KHz
10,000 - 1,000 meters
Medium Frequency (MF)
300 KHz - 3 MHz
1,000 - 100 meters
High Frequency (HF)
3 - 30 MHz
100 - 10 meters
Very High Frequency (VHF)
30 - 300 MHz
10 - 1 meter
Ultra High Frequency (UHF)
300 MHz - 3 GHz
1 meter - 10 cm
Super High Frequency (SHF)
3 - 30 GHz
10 - 1 cm
Extreme High Frequency (EHF)
30 - 300 GHz
1 cm - 1 mm
