frequency band

A frequency band refers to a specific range of electromagnetic waves characterized by their frequencies, measured in hertz (Hz). Think of it like a segment of radio stations or wireless signals that operate within a certain range of tones or pitches. For example, FM radio stations broadcast within a frequency band between 88 and 108 MHz. Different devices and technologies use various frequency bands to transmit data, voice, or images, ensuring they don't interfere with each other. These bands are allocated and regulated to optimize communication and technological functions worldwide.
