-- From the AC power frequency (60 Hz) to gamma rays (1019 Hz), the electromagnetic

spectrum extends through something like 57 octaves(doubling of frequency).

-- Just the AM radio dial alone, from 550 KHz to 1600 KHz, covers 1.54 octaves.

-- The band of visible frequencies ... considered to be roughly 400 - 790 THz ...

covers barely one octave if you want to be generous about it.
