a. 100km to 1000km
b. 1mm to 100km
c. 0.1mm to 1mm
d. 1nm to 1mm

ANSWER: 1mm to 100km
 
  • Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light. Radio waves have frequencies from 300 GHz to as low as 3 kHz.
  • Corresponding wavelengths ranging from 1 millimeter to 100 kilometers.
  • Like all other electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light. Naturally occurring radio waves are made by lightning, or by astronomical objects.
  • Artificially generated radio waves are used for fixed and mobile radio communication, broadcasting, radar and other navigation systems, communications satellites, computer networks and innumerable other applications.
