The frequency 120 MHz lies in which RF band?

The frequency 120 MHz lies in which RF band?

• A. High Frequency
• B. Very High Frequency
• C. Ultra High Frequency
• D. Super High Frequency

Answer: (B)

Frequencies are grouped into bands by approximate ranges. The Very High Frequency band covers roughly 30 to 300 MHz. A frequency of 120 MHz falls squarely inside that range, so it belongs to VHF. The HF band is lower (about 3 to 30 MHz), UHF starts at around 300 MHz, and SHF is in the GHz region, well above 120 MHz. A memory aid is that many FM radio and similar broadcasts sit in the VHF range, which helps remember why 120 MHz fits there.
